研究活動
I collaborate with social scientists, clinicians, basic science researchers, and communities to inform mathematical models for quantifying the potential impact of behavior-focused tools and approaches. Recent work has considered the impact on measles outcomes of increased vaccination uptake by beneficiaries of nutrition supplementation programs. Other projects have investigated the role of risk communication and community engagement programs in moderating communities’ adoption of response recommendations during COVID-19 and Ebola outbreaks. My work has involved field experience to understand context and guide policy and practice in Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Cameroon.
