Her training in demography and epidemiology has led to a general focus on population-based measurement of maternal and perinatal mortality and health in developing countries. Her current projects include establishing guidelines for reporting indicators for Caesarean sections in low- and high-use areas, documenting the causes of perinatal death, and measuring the active management of the third stage of labor in East/West Africa, Central America, and Asia. She is also involved in efforts to improve the measurement of maternal mortality through national population censuses.
