My research interests are in the area of maternal and infant nutrition and health.
Specific interests include:
1. epidemiology of poor pregnancy outcomes (e.g., miscarriage, low birth weight, preterm delivery, complications of labor and delivery), especially the role of maternal and fetal nutritional status in influencing parturition;
2. identification and evaluation of indicators of high-risk mothers and newborns;
3. short- and long-term consequences of poor prenatal and postnatal growth and development; breastfeeding and complementary feeding;
4. evaluation of nutrition interventions;
5. nutrition and health surveillance/information systems.
