malERA: an updated research agenda for health systems and policy research in malaria elimination and eradication (Publications)
Health systems underpin disease elimination and eradication programmes. In an elimination and eradication context, innovative research approaches are needed across health systems to assess readiness f
Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks (Publications)
We examined common variation in asthma risk by conducting a meta-analysis of worldwide asthma genome-wide association studies (23,948 asthma cases, 118,538 controls) of individuals from ethnically div
Assessing the reach and effectiveness of mHealth: evidence from a reproductive health program for adolescent girls in Ghana (Publications)
BACKGROUND: While mobile health (mHealth) programs are increasingly used to provide health information and deliver interventions, little is known regarding the relative reach and effectiveness of thes
Inference with difference-in-differences with a small number of groups: a review, simulation study, and empirical application using SHARE data (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Difference-in-differences (DID) estimation has become increasingly popular as an approach to evaluate the effect of a group-level policy on individual-level outcomes. Several statistical m
Simulations for designing and interpreting intervention trials in infectious diseases (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Interventions in infectious diseases can have both direct effects on individuals who receive the intervention as well as indirect effects in the population. In addition, intervention combi
Vaccination of dogs in an African city interrupts rabies transmission and reduces human exposure (Publications)
Despite the existence of effective rabies vaccines for dogs, dog-transmitted human rabies persists and has reemerged in Africa. Two consecutive dog vaccination campaigns took place in Chad in 2012 and
A multi-country analysis on potential adaptive mechanisms to cold and heat in a changing climate (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Temporal variation of temperature-health associations depends on the combination of two pathways: pure adaptation to increasingly warmer temperatures due to climate change, and other atten
