Research area

Psychedelic medicine in global health

Through a partnership with the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica, we seek to develop a scalable and cost-effective model for the delivery of psilocybin-assisted therapy to treat depression and other mental health conditions in low- and middle-income countries.

Research area

Clinical trial methodology

We study trial designs used extensively in global health settings, such as cluster randomized trials and stepped wedge designs, as well as quasi-experimental methods such as interrupted time series designs and generalized difference-in-differences analyses.

Research area

Global Health evaluation and implementation science

In partnership with the Research Design and Analysis Core (RDAC) at the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI), we apply modern quantitative research methods and statistical tools to a wide variety of global health studies. Examples of impact evaluations include community health workers in Liberia, mass distribution of azithromycin in Northern Nigeria, and antimicrobial overprescription in Sri Lanka.
