The 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires and Outpatient Acute Health Care Utilization
This cohort study observed substantial increases in acute health care utilization, especially virtual care-seeking following the LA fires. As disruptive climate events increase, such data are essential to inform health care preparedness and response
The Emerge framework to measure empowerment for health and development
The EMERGE Framework can guide development and analysis of survey measures on empowerment and is needed as the current state of the field shows limited coverage of empowerment constructs even in areas which have received more study, such as family planning
The associations of everyday and major discrimination exposure with violence and poor mental health outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic
Using machine learning to understand determinants of IUD use in India: Analyses of the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-4)
Intra-uterine devices (IUDs) are a safe and effective method to delay or space pregnancies and are available for free or at low cost in the Indian public health system; yet, IUD uptake in India remains low. Limited quantitative research using national data has explored factors that may affect IUD use. Machine Learning (ML) techniques allow us to explore determinants of low prevalence behaviors in survey research, such as IUD use. We applied ML to…

Heterogeneities in utilization of antenatal care in Uttar Pradesh, India: The need to contextualize interventions to individual contexts
BACKGROUND: This paper explores the heterogeneities in antenatal care (ANC) utilization in India's most populated state, Uttar Pradesh. Taking an intersectionality lens, multiple individual- and district-level factors are used to identify segments of any antenatal care usage in Uttar Pradesh Objective: This paper seeks to understand the multilevel contexts of ANC utilization. The planning and programming challenge is that such knowledge of contex…
Diseased Plantations: Law and the political economy of health in Assam, 1860-1920
This article argues that ideas of health and disease in the Assam tea plantations of northeastern India exceeded instrumental logics of bodily disorder, medical 'objectivity', and preventive cure. It looks at cholera, kala-azar (or black-fever), and malaria-the three main killers in these estates-to show that imperatives of private capital and law conditioned and constrained parameters of well-being, mortality, and morbidity in these plantations.…
Towards an understanding of the multilevel factors associated with maternal health care utilization in Uttar Pradesh, India
BACKGROUND: This paper explores the multilevel factors associated with maternal health utilization in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. 3 key utilization practices: registration of pregnancy, receipt of antenatal care, and delivery at home are examined for district and individual level predictors. The data is based on 5666 household surveys conducted as part of a baseline evaluation of the Uttar Pradesh Technical Support Unit (UPTSU.) p…
Differential effects of community health worker visits across social and economic groups in Uttar Pradesh, India: A link between social inequities and health disparities
CHW visits play a vital role in promoting utilization of critical maternal health services in UP. However, significant social inequities exist in associations of CHW visits with such service utilization. Research to clarify these inequities, as well as training for CHWs to address potential biases in the qualities or quantity of their visits based on household socio-economic characteristics is recommended

Bugs in the Garden: Tea Plantations and Environmental Constraints in Eastern India (Assam), 1840-1910
This article rethinks the relationship between the tea plantation economy and its built environment, ecological constraints and nature in fin de siècle Assam in eastern India. It does this by analysing the historical role of tea pests and climate that bedevilled the industry throughout this period. If labour remained the long-term concern for planters (and historians), it argues that these ecological factors induced a critical impact on the worki…
