Overview
My research aims to improve maternal, child, and neonatal health in low-resource settings. Most of my research focuses on (1) large-scale effectiveness evaluations of maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) programs to estimate and explain the impact of these programs on mortality, nutrition, and intermediate outcomes, and (2) efforts to improve the measurement of coverage and quality of care for MNCH interventions.
