Public Health Crunch

As an epidemiologist, I am interested in injury causation and trauma outcomes, with an emphasis on risk factors identification and policy intervention. My studies encompass innovative research methodology in Geographic Information Systems, occupational safety, and aging. I strive to be an ardent advocate of policy changes that improves the health of all people. Much of my teaching and research is designed to provide legislators, administrators, media representatives, and others with unbiased health information that will increase the overall health status of individuals and communities. To that end, no advertising will be allowed to be posted on this blog.
