Population Health

As a population health consultant, we support our clients to identify, assess, evaluate and implement various public health/epidemiology research, projects/programs, and initiatives. We identify population health problems by accessing the distribution and determinants (risk or beneficial factors) of various chronic and infectious diseases and health outcomes, as well as offer solutions on prevention and control of adverse health outcomes, and improve holistic health and well-being via various programs and initiatives to promote healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices. We focus on following key areas:
We focus on following key areas:
Population health research and programs:

We are one stop shop for our clients on population health research including development and identification of epidemiology study design, survey design/questionnaire development, study implementation, data collection, statistical analysis/synthesis, and interpretation and presentation of study findings. Our methods are applicable for the design and implementation of research and programs in various population health topic areas including chronic disease epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology (including COVID-19 epidemiology), nutritional epidemiology, environmental epidemiology/environmental health, social epidemiology/social determinants of health, built food and physical activity environments, spatial epidemiology, reproductive epidemiology, and global health.

Health equity:

We have extensive experience on health disparities research and programs to assess health equity or measure progress towards health equity. We look at various determinants ranging from economic, social and environmental disadvantages/barriers as we explore the health disparities/inequity based on their race, gender, age, socio-economic status, geographic location etc.
Literature review/synthesis and evaluation:

We conduct literature reviews to synthesize and summarize scientific evidence about various risk and beneficial factors, programs, and initiatives on various public health outcomes. We produce rigorous and scientifically defensible results based on the best available science by taking structured approach to synthesize scientific evidence; identify existing weight of evidence for policy, programs, and informed decision making; identify current knowledge gaps and weakness; and provide recommendation for future studies and program needs to fill the gaps.
Health data analytics:

We have extensive knowledge and experience working with big data, and know the right tools and methods for data collection (via survey, secondary data sources, focus groups etc.), cleaning/QA and management; develop analytics plans; and interpretation of study results that can help to make informed decisions on improving population health and achieve health equity. We have knowledge of various analytical and data visualization tools: statistical software (Excel, Tableau and SAS), and mapping/visualization software (ArcGIS, Tableau). Data analysis support can include simple (e.g: Descriptive analysis, Correlations, ANOVA) and/or complex (e.g: linear and logistic regression analysis; survival analysis or time to event analysis and Cox hazard models; multi-level models to assess relationships of individual-level participants characteristics, as well as social, neighborhood and environmental factors on outcomes of interest) analyses. Visualization support includes presentation of complex study findings in easy understandable tables, figures and graphs that can support public health practice and outcomes.
Program Evaluation:

We apply evaluation models and frameworks to conduct studies and analysis of outcomes and effectiveness of program implementation. The evidence-based evaluation approach helps generate actionable findings to make informed decision, plan effective public health strategies, and improve existing programs. 

Study reports and publications:

We have experience in generating study reports, white papers and peer-reviewed scientific publications. The reports and papers produced are based on rigorous methods to meet scientific integrity.
