Research Interests

My research has included methodological issues in measuring prenatal care utilization, maternal morbidity and mortality, and topics in perinatal epidemiology. In addition, I do a great deal of work with state and local health agencies, including analytic methods training, and collaboration around issues such as data linkage and surveillance system development.
