Biography:
My work at the health research centre has primarily focused on research project management and statistical analysis, from which I have acquired rich experience. Through my years of work with the Dodowa Health and Demographic Surveillance System, I have been able to use a range of software packages such as STATA, Excel, ARC GIS to organize and manage datasets, carry out statistical analysis, prepare listings, construct tables, figures and prepare annual reports. Also, I have been involved in developing quality controls on data and compute sample sizes for various types of surveys. In both my past and present research, I have been able to contribute to two articles that have been published in high impact peer-reviewed international journals. I have also participated in the development and review of various research proposals, some of which turned into successful projects. I have analysed data on projects I have worked on and presented results of statistical analyses through written and oral presentations in various conferences.
