ORC Macro (currently ICF International) 05/2001 - 05/2003
Calverton , MD
Deputy Director
As senior manager for the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), responsible for policy and program innovation. The DHS is the largest, longest running global health data operation in the world. Funded by USAID, the DHS conducts surveys in over 40 countries and is the major source of national health data for the less developed world. Promoted new surveys and survey techniques that addressed emerging policy needs of the US government and client countries. I played a key role in the evolution of the IRB efforts of the DHS, issues related to health disparities, “report of finding to survey participants” policies, and survey sampling issues. Led, negotiated, planned, and implemented prototype surveys including a health examination survey, an HIV facility survey and added biomarkers to the DHS. Integrated HIV testing into population based surveys (DHS) in Mali, Zambia, and Dominican Republic. Led preparation and presentation of innovations to ORC Macro IRB (HIV testing, Chlamydia testing, cholesterol, vitamin A, blood pressure, lead testing). Served as policy adviser to Commonwealth Regional Health Community Secretariat, a regional body representing 14 Eastern and Southern African countries to harmonize health policies in the region.
Accomplishments:
· Successfully planned, negotiated, implemented and analyzed the first Uganda National Health Facility Survey, focused on provision of services to address HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB that was conducted with JSI. This large national effort sampled over 200 public and private sector health care delivery facilities that revealed the serious gaps in provision of care, which was critical to the planning of PEPFAR. The results of this global prototype survey were published in a national report for Uganda, a peer review journal, and presented in many scientific forums.
· Spearheaded a major policy initiative to include biomarkers in the DHS. Planned, negotiated, implemented and analyzed a national health examination survey in Uzbekistan. This was the first time the DHS collected data on a wide variety of adult health indicators including blood pressure, cholesterol, vitamin A, Chlamydia, and many others biomarkers. Pioneered vitamin A specimen collection for the DHS in a study in Uganda. I planned, and analyzed the first national HIV prevalence estimate in Africa using survey data in the Mali DHS 2001. Designed, negotiated, implemented and analyzed the Dominican Republic DHS 2001 that included HIV testing (oral test). My publications and presentation in many global forums (WHO, WB, ADB, USAID) have been critical to the advancement of the use of biomarkers in national surveys. The Uzbekistan National Health Survey has become a corner stone of national health policy in that country and an important turning point for USAID that has begun to address issues of urban health and chronic diseases in its programming.
· Conceptualized, designed, and implemented use of vitamin A measures in national health surveys. Conducted the first piloted in series of Ugandan villages to assess the feasibility and potential use of vitamin A as a component in a national survey.

As the DHHS representative to the Executive Board of UNICEF for three years, played a critical role in the US government policy that provided leadership among other member delegations -- efforts that ultimately led to a major shift in policy at UNICEF. Breast-feeding policy of UNICEF came into conflict with the science that documented that breast-feeding could lead to HIV infection among infants. Organized scientific briefing for the US delegations and UNICEF staff, wrote policy briefs, and resolutions that helped UNICEF develop the most progressive policy stance for HIV in the UN system at that time.

This and other efforts of this period of my career led to growing national attention to racial and ethnic health disparities and related policy reform.
· Improved scientific operations of the Scientific Advisory Committee of NCHS, which oversaw all major survey operations including the original creation of the national representative sample of genetic material for the US government. This effort established processes for use of genetic material on a nationally representative sample of the country that involved major scientific and ethical consideration creating an invaluable component of the national data sets of the country.
· Spearheaded the highly successful and policy relevant National Health Survey of Pakistan, first survey of its kind in a less developed country. Implemented the analysis of this health examination survey of a representative sample of Pakistan (with more than 18,000 people interviewed and examined). Trained teams of Pakistani doctors and statisticians to analyze data and develop policy initiatives raised by the survey findings. This successful effort led to publication of a major report and a large series of peer-reviewed articles, which have had major policy ramifications for national health policy in Pakistan.
· Conceptualized and led the “Lee Report” a study commissioned by Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Phil Lee. This DHHS wide initiative led to the production of a series of studies of social inequalities in health. The effort was the culmination of the Poverty and Health Work Group at NCHS, which I also founded and led. Gained national recognition for my paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine that demonstrated widening disparities in mortality between socio-economic groups in the United States. A front-page story of New York Times reviewed the paper.
