KCH Neonatal Mixed Method Outcome Study

Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve

Mental health and work-related wellbeing of U.S. obstetrician-gynecologists in a shifting policy climate

: The proposed study is a three-year mixed methods study of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and subsequent changes to state reproductive health policies, on mental health and work-related wellbeing of OB/GYNs. We will study how workplace factors, and organizational policies and practices, may lessen the impact of restrictive state policies on OB/GYNs' mental health, work-related wellbeing, and turnover intention. We will undertake a convergent mixed-method design, in which we will conduct a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews simultaneously. We will then conduct key informant interviews of OB/GYN and hospital leaders to determine the best methods and pathways for dissemination of findings.

Police Reform in Brazil

Throughout Latin America, public security is an increasingly important issue due to growing concerns regarding drug trafficking, organized crime, homicides, and violence. While much of the research on the topic focuses on citizens' support for hard-on-crime policing and politicians' subsequent enactment of such policies, scholars have not studied the responses of the innocent people who become unintended victims of these policies through government-sponsored violence. How do these people seek to hold the state accountable for the negative consequences of hard-on-crime policies? Which policies do they seek to advance? With which other civil society actors and policymakers do they ally and why? Most importantly, when are they successful in shaping public security policy? In this research project, I focus on the organized resistance against police brutality in Brazil's urban areas, especially in the poorer regions known as favelas.
