Why do you study injury?

I am interested in the prevention, effects, and treatment of traumatic brain injury because of the immense impact it has on both my community and the world as a whole. I am particularly interested in approaching traumatic brain injury from a Medical-Legal perspective.

What surprises you about injury research?

I am continually surprised and impressed by the interdisciplinary nature of the field that results from the vast variety of factors that play into injury.

I also love to talk about:

Mountaineering, Cycling, Biathlon, and Politics.

I have over 20 years of experience managing data in public health and social research, spanning subjects such as healthy child and youth development, substance abuse prevention and treatment, HIV prevention and surveillance, intimate partner violence, child maltreatment, family income sufficiency, traumatic brain injury, and firearm injury and mortality. I have advanced programming skills in several languages, including R, Stata, SAS, SPSS, and SQL. I also have training in survey research design and data collection.

• Why do you study injury?
  • I study pediatric head injury because appropriate head injury care has an enormous impact on both immediate mortality as well as long term well-being.
• What surprises you about injury research?
  • I am constantly surprised by how much is already known about injury, yet there is still so much knowledge left to be uncovered.
• I also love to talk about:
  • I am always open to any conversation about dogs, hiking, travel, cooking or weight lifting.

Research Interests: Intimate partner violence, sexual violence, adolescent health, social epidemiology.

Major/Field of Study: Epidemiology

• Why do you study injury?
  • My interest in injury research began when I was working for a prosecuting attorney processing paperwork for domestic violence cases and DUI charges. It opened my eyes to how widespread these sources of injury are. Injury captures such a broad range of causes, intents, and at-risk populations that there is always something new to explore. Injury is frequently on all of our minds as it tends to be in the news, which is especially true as someone working in firearms. It is really rewarding to participate in research that is meaningful and contributes to a conversation that’s happening on such a big stage.
• What surprises you about injury research?
  • There are so many facets of injury research that affect so many different populations. What really surprises me about injury research is talking to other people working in epidemiology and hearing about their diverse projects – some that I wouldn’t have typically associated with injury epi. It’s also interesting how each subset of injury seems to have a controversy of its own. Most of my injury work thus far has been related to firearms and it’s a big conversation in politics today, but it’s interesting to hear from other epidemiologists that they’re fighting their own political battles over interventions like helmet laws.
• When I was a kid, I wanted to become:
  • I really wanted to be a detective like Encylopedia Brown or Nancy Drew! Sometimes I like to think of epidemiology as mystery solving, albeit in a world with fewer secret passages.

• Why do you study injury?
  • Injury is somewhat a neglected area of research in Bangladesh, my home country. I was fortunate enough to meet a few of the most brilliant injury researchers in the country as my teachers, mentors and later colleagues. The inspiration to start injury research (and research in general as well) originated from them while the urge to continue came from realizing the impact that injury research, especially done from a preventive focus, can have in LMIC settings.
• What surprises you about injury research?
  • Injury research is capable of pointing out that preventing injuries can oftentimes be so simple yet we (people) accept this as fate in many parts of the world. Injury research and programs seem to me like magic tricks that can produce beautiful sure-shot outcomes.

Why do you study injury?

Most of my research in injury has focus on non-fatal and fatal drug overdoses. Injuries cause a significant morbidity and mortality burden at the population level, while also contributing to loss of quality of life, emotional impacts to family members and loved ones, and societal impacts. Many of the injuries that I study are preventable with appropriate harm reduction, treatment, and policy interventions, and I enjoy thinking about how to evaluate policies and programs to provide the evidence-base for public health practitioners to reduce these impacts.

What surprises you about injury research?

How many differing disciplines, methodologies, and topic areas are encompassed within this broad research area. An injury researcher may have very different training and skillsets depending on their specific focus area, which provides a unique and exciting multi-disciplinary learning environment!

I also love to talk about:

North Carolina (the Tar Heels, the Blue Ridge Mountains & Emerald coast, and the strong opinions I have about BBQ sauce), National Parks, and my adorable beagle/lab mix, Blue!

Why do you study injury?

I became interested in firearm injury prevention and its mental health implications while working with adolescents deeply affected deeply by gun violence. Injury from violence can lead to mental trauma not only on the individual level, but on the family, community, or even generational levels. Working to prevent the injuries and violence that often cause trauma symptoms has the potential for enormous impact on mental and physical health of communities.

What surprises you about injury research?

I’m surprised by how multifaceted injury research is and how it requires collaboration between so many disciplines.
