Evaluation of a Baby WASH Intervention to Reduce Environmental Enteropathy and Impaired

Growth in Young Children in Democratic Republic of Congo: The objective of this study is to develop
and evaluate effective intervention approaches to reduce pediatric exposures to fecal pathogens and
environmental enteropathy and impaired growth in this highly susceptible population in rural Democratic
Republic of Congo. We will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial of the developed intervention
approaches. My role was to manage all study data, oversee the data management team and coordinate with
PI.

CHoBI7: An Innovative Hospital Based WASH Intervention for Hospitalized Diarrheal Patients in
Bangladesh: The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to develop and evaluate scalable
approaches to integrate the CHoBI7 intervention, a hospital based handwashing with soap and water
treatment intervention, into the services provided for hospitalized diarrhea patients at health facilities in
Bangladesh; and evaluating the ability of the CHoBI7 intervention to lead to a sustained reductions in
pediatric diarrheal disease over time. My role was to manage all study data, oversee and coordinate with the
data management team in Bangladesh.

Participatory Interventions to Reduce Arsenic Exposure in American Indian Communities: The

objective of our study is to develop and evaluate by conducting a randomized controlled trial the
effectiveness of an evidence-based, theory-driven, multi-level participatory intervention to reduce arsenic
exposure in American Indian communities enrolled in the Strong Heart Study (SHS) in North and South
Dakota. My role was to manage all study data, oversee the data management team and coordinate with the
Strong Heart Study team.

International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b)

Senior Data Manager January 2011 – August 2016

Summary: At icddr,b I developed and managed data collection systems for all studies for the Initiative for
Noncommunicable Diseases. This included relational databases, quality control procedures, standard
operating procedures (SOP) for data management, study questionnaires, code books, and data analysis tools.

 Bangladesh Risk of Acute Vascular Events (BRAVE): A case-control study of 10,000 acute vascular
event case and 10,000 controls examining environmental, genetic, lifestyle and biochemical factors for
Acute Myocardial Infarction. I oversaw all data collection and data management.
 Control of Blood Pressure and Risk Attenuation- Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Feasibility
(COBRA-BPS) study: This is a multi-country cluster randomized controlled trial of integrated primary
care strategies to reduce high blood pressure. These findings will inform policies that will be integrated
into the primary care infrastructure in rural communities in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. My
role was managing large dataset in REDCap and generating maps using ArcGIS software with GPS
coordinates to visualize field cluster distribution.
 Establishing GeoHealth Hub: An international consortium of environmental health researchers
investigating the health effects of water pollution, air pollution, and climate change in Bangladesh. My
role was to manage this dataset and download data collected by a MicroPEM PM 2.5 machine from the
field for indoor air pollution monitoring.
 Hypertension Study: A population-based study of arterial hypertension prevalence and management
and its risk factors among adults 20 years of age or older in rural and urban Bangladesh. My role was to
manage the study data and oversee and coordinate with the NHLBI BioLINCC -NIH data management
team.
 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Study: A population based study of the prevalence
and determinants of COPD and assessment of the rate of decline in pulmonary function in COPD cases
in rural and urban settings in Bangladesh. My role was to manage this study data and coordinate with
the data management team.
 Indoor air pollution (IAP) study: Evaluation of the use of cook stoves, indoor air pollution, and the
prevalence of respiratory morbidity and cardiovascular risk factors in three cohorts of women and
children under-five years of age in rural Bangladesh. My role was to manage this study data and
supervise the data management team of 12 Data Management Officers.
 A pilot cohort study for the CDRF (Chronic Disease Risk Factor Study): This was a pilot cohort
study nested with the current demographic surveillance system in Matlab, Bangladesh to identify risk
factors of chronic disease. For this surveillance system, we used netbooks to collect digital data directly
in the field. My role was to manage this study data and coordinate with the SANCD (South Asia
Network for Chronic Diseases) of PHFI (Public Health Foundation of India) data management team.

Database Developer January 2013- January 2014
Hospital Based Cholera Intervention for Household Contacts of Cholera Cases (PI George): I designed
the digital data capture system, databases, and codebooks in MS Access for a cluster randomized controlled
trial of household contacts of cholera patients conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh entitled a “Hospital Based
Cholera Intervention for Household Contacts of Cholera Cases.” The principal investigator of this study is
Dr. Christine Marie George, and co-investigators are Drs. Bradley Sack and David Sack. In the role, I trained
the study team on digital data capture, and oversaw the data management for a field team of 15 research
assistants.

Columbia University Arsenic & Health Research in Bangladesh

Informatics Manager April 2003 – December 2010
Summary: I supervised data management for the Columbia University Arsenic & Health Research Office
in Bangladesh. In this role I developed and managed the relational database system for a cohort study of
30,000 cohort study, and all sub-studies. This involved designing study databases, including data entry
validations, generating eligible participant lists, tracking study bio-specimens, uploading data, data
cleaning, and coordinating the activities of the data management team of 10 informatics officers, 4 data
monitoring officers, and a study- pharmacist at the Columbia University Dhaka Office. This included the
following studies:

 The Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS): This is an ongoing prospective cohort
study in Bangladesh of 30,000 individuals. The data collected from this study has resulted in over 22
publications. My role was to manage all study data, oversee the data management team and coordinate
with Columbia University Data Management Center.
 Bangladesh Vitamin E and Selenium Trial (BEST): The BEST trial is a 2 × 2 factorial design,
double-blind, randomized controlled trial of 7000 adults with arsenical skin lesions evaluating the
efficacy of supplementation with alpha-tocopherol (100 mg daily) and L-selenomethionine (200 μg
daily) on the prevention of non-melanoma skin cancer. My role was to manage this study data and
oversee the data management team.
 Water Arsenic Exposure and Intellectual Function in 6-Year-Old Children in Bangladesh: This
study was conducted among arsenic exposed 6- year-old child using an abridged version of the Home
Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME) tool, to determine the relationship
between water arsenic exposure and intellectual function. My role was to manage this study data and
oversee the data management team.
 Water Arsenic Exposure and Children’s Intellectual Function in 10 year-old Children in
Bangladesh: Exposure to arsenic has long been known to have neurologic consequences in adults,
however there is limited studies assessing this among children. This cross-sectional study was
conducted to determine the association between water arsenic exposure and intellectual function among
children 10 years old. My role was to manage this study data and oversee the data management team.
 Folic Acid and Creatine as Therapeutic Approaches to Lower Blood Arsenic (FACT) Study: The
objective of this clinical trial was to determine whether 400 or 800 μg of folic acid and/or creatine
supplementation lowered blood arsenic in an arsenic exposed Bangladeshi population. Twelve and 24-
week treatment with 800 μg of folic acid lowered blood arsenic to a greater extent than placebo; and
this was sustained 12 weeks after FA cessation. My role was to manage this study data and oversee the
data management team.
