▼ During my PhD studies I have worked on developing a number of optofluidics-based technologies with a primary emphasis on creating systems that maintain a relatively simple design and infrastructure while achieving a high level of functionality in their ability to perform complex tasks. Generally speaking my projects fall into two categories: programmable matter and global health. Programmable matter is the concept of creating a substance that can be reprogrammed and reconfigured to perform different tasks when the need arises. I developed an assembly technique that utilizes laser heating to create bubbles in a microfluidic environment, which are then used to connect microscale components. By granting the user control over placement of these "bubble latches," arbitrary structures can be formed and reconfigured in situ. My other projects have revolved around developing mobile microfluidic technologies, particularly for global health applications. This is driven by the fact that for all the significant advancements in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies, consumer level uptake of such devices has been limited. This is primarily due to the need for a large number of external components (power source, computer, pump, etc.) to support the microfluidic chip, thus confining most technologies to lab settings. In my work I addressed some of the major overarching limitations of current LOC systems by exploiting the ubiquity of solar energy and smartphone technology to enable new microfluidic-based diagnostics. For example, by using an external light source such as sunlight, I demonstrated the ability to control flow in a microfluidic device without the need for powered pumps or valves. I have also invented a smartphoneassisted solar thermal method to perform polymerase chain reaction, a biochemical technique for amplifying nucleic acids. These novel technologies provide a means to perform complex diagnostics while dramatically reducing the reliance on external power and infrastructure. Such innovations could in the coming years help transform the healthcare landscape, particularly in the developing world.

▼ Bolivia, a country of approximately 10 million people as of 2011, is one of the poorest countries in South America. Extending deep into the Andes Mountains are indigenous people who were denied access to education, political participation, and economic growth until the early 1950s. As a result, due in part to the remote locations of many indigenous people, villagers remain poor and lack basic health infrastructure, sanitation and education. The goal of this research is to: 1) examine access to healthcare in the Pocoata Municipality near the village of Quesimpuco; 2) identify health problems of the indigenous population of the Chaupirana Valley; and 3) develop a tailored public health surveillance program that will help track the incidence of water-borne disease morbidity in villages near Quesimpuco. Results indicate the need for more healthcare clinics in the study area. In addition, the main medical problems identified in the villages were gastrointestinal upset (including parasitic infection, gastritis, diarrhea, abdominal pain) possibly due to contaminated water supplies, musculoskeletal pain and back problems, an increased prevalence of eye issues, and respiratory morbidity. With community-specific health needs identified, a public health surveillance system can be implemented and monitored by local, community members. Village leaders can then allocate the appropriate workforce, training needs and resources to ensure progress in community health initiatives. Further, the use of Epi Info can assist with the organizational structure of health data management in the remote villages of Bolivia. Ensuring a safe, potable water supply and proper hygiene infrastructure such as hand washing stations and latrines can greatly improve the lives of the indigenous people of the Chayanta Province. The long-term outcome of this research will assist leaders in identifying specific health needs, focusing limited resources, educating the population about ways to improve and sustain a healthy life, and ultimately eliminate common diseases through preventative measures.

▼ In current global health parlance, sustainability is a key concern of funders and implementers alike, tied to growing concerns with accountability and, relatedly, the demand for precise measurement. Concerns over sustainability relate to vertical programming, fragmented care and short funding cycles. Communities who participate in successive programs may become disillusioned by the continual turnover and shifting priorities. In this thesis, I analyze the central role of program discourses, evidence production regimes and knowledge practices in the everyday life of a global health project to illuminate power imbalances that emerge within international partnership formations. Furthermore, within the context of a multi-partner maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) project in Kenya, I illustrate how local communities engage with global health projects to ensure sustainability on their own terms. Methods: I conducted a 13-month ethnographic study of a MNCH and nutrition project in Taita Taveta County, eastern Kenya, following a project ethnography. Data collection took place between July 2014 and August 2016. Because the social dynamics of the project unfolded in multiple locales, I conducted my ethnographic fieldwork in Winnipeg, Canada, and in Nairobi and Taita Taveta, Kenya. In addition to participant observation, I undertook primary and secondary archival research to gain a deeper understanding of the history of development in Taita Taveta. I also conducted key informant interviews with university scientists and analyzed secondary qualitative data from the MNCH project. Data analysis occurred through an iterative process that triangulated the findings from the various sources. Results and Conclusions. Evidence is a central preoccupation in global health practice, with respect to 1) how scientists and program implementers attempt to meet funders’ demand for standardized, quantitative metrics and 2) how local people and communities position themselves to benefit from global health projects. Prolonged engagement with development projects cultivate “local intervention knowledges” that inform how people think about and engage with projects. I demonstrate how people in Taita Taveta strategically engage with discourses around sustainability, actively participating in the formation of the discourse while contesting and remaking the principles and activities of programs to better meet local exigencies. This I refer to as flexible sustainabilities.

▼ Background: HPV vaccine uptake is low among East African-American (EAA) adolescents in the U.S. To improve HPV vaccine uptake in EAA communities, we developed a theory-based, community-informed comic book for adolescents as a part of an intervention targeting mothers and adolescents. We evaluated the impact on participating adolescents’ HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, attitudes and vaccination intentions. Methods: The culture-specific comic book intervention was delivered to unvaccinated EAA adolescents who participated in ethno-linguistic-specific dinners with their mothers in Washington (8 dinners in Somali, 2 in Amharic) between 2017-2018. English-speaking adolescents aged 14-17 were assigned to complete a self-administered survey either before or after reading the comic book. Surveys were identical and assessed knowledge, barriers, communication with parents, and intention. Responses between adolescents completing the pre- vs post-test were compared with chi-squared tests. We used generalized estimating equation (GEE) models to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to measure the magnitude of the impact of the intervention on each construct. We also stratified the GEE models by gender to enumerate gender-specific intervention effects and tested for the presence of interaction between the participants’ gender and the assigned survey group (e.g., pre- or post-intervention). Results: Among 136 (Pre-test=64, Post-test=72) participants, 90% were Somali and 54% female. Adolescents assigned to the post-test were more likely to correctly answer questions on HPV/HPV-vaccine knowledge than those assigned to the pre-test (correct responses ranged from 27%-67% on the pre-test vs. 66%-90% post-test). The differences were statistically significant (p<.001) for 10 of 11 questions. Overall, the adolescents in the post-intervention survey group were 1.87 (95% CI: 1.54-2.27) times and 1.74 (95% CI: 1.46-2.07) times more likely than adolescents in the pre-intervention group to correctly answer questions related to HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, respectively. Significant pre/post differences were also observed for comfort talking with a parent (58% vs. 90% somewhat/very comfortable, RR: 1.55 [95% CI: 1.24-1.94]), willingness (38% vs. 83% probably/definitely willing, RR: 2.16 [95% CI: 1.55-3.01]) and intention to get vaccinated (34% vs. 86% very/somewhat likely, RR: 2.39 [95% CI: 1.69-3.37]). The impact of the comic book tended to be stronger in male versus female adolescents for all constructs (RR between the pre- and post-test groups ranged from 1.40-3.20 for males vs. 1.30-2.00 for females). Conclusion: The comic book improved the EAA adolescents’ HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, attitudes and intentions to receive vaccine. This intervention could be adapted for other EAA and ethnic-minority communities. Advisors/Committee Members: Winer, Rachel (advisor).

▼ Objective: The principal objective of this project was an assessment of the seasonal change in the geographical risk and human population at risk of dengue virus (DENV) infection, which causes dengue fever (DF). This was accomplished through the development of a DENV transmission suitability model, using the daily survival probability of the mosquito vector and the virus extrinsic incubation period as a function of temperature and humidity, and dengue case data in Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Methods: This descriptive study design was a secondary longitudinal data analysis of data for confirmed DENV infections and meteorological conditions in Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica from 2012 until 2018. The presence of dengue transmission was made binary in the study based on the human incidence rate within the countries. A logistical regression was utilized to quantify the relationship between dengue incidence and the modeled probability that the DENV carrying mosquito, Aedes aegypti, will survive the extrinsic incubation period. This probability will be referred to as the risk index (RI) and was calculated using temperature and relative humidity. A logistic model was created by using the weekly RI and the dengue incidence rate at each respective Administrative Level 1 unit to calculate the probability that the conditions would support DENV transmission. Results: The output of the individual country models, as well as, the combined model provided several statistically significant findings. All the models had at least a 70% accuracy, except for Costa Rica. Each of the models quantified statistical significance among the dependent (human DENV cases) and independent variables (RI). For every 0.01 increase in RI (probability the mosquito will survive past the incubation period), the odds of dengue increased by 12.6% (Brazil), 23.6% (Columbia), 69.5% (Costa Rica), and 23% (Combined). Interpretation of the combined model was that for every 0.01 increase in RI, the odds of the presence of DENV increased by 23%. Conclusions: The model results suggest a positive association between favorable environmental conditions and DENV incidence, which is of public health importance for the general population and for the most vulnerable populations. The ability to forecast favorable environmental conditions may aid in appropriate future DENV resource allocation and planning not only in these countries but throughout the region. Applicable mitigation and adaptation strategies must be developed and implemented to address the increasing incidence of DENV. Advisors/Committee Members: Ebi, Kristie L (advisor).

▼ Background: The inclusion of participants in HIV preventive vaccine trials who identify as a member of a racial, ethnic, sexual, and/or gender minority group continues to be lacking, even though rates of HIV infection are often higher among these groups in the United States. An analysis of enrollment demographics of US HIV preventive vaccine trials from 1988 to 2002 showed that enrollment of minority group members increased over time. To determine more recent trends in minority enrollment, a similar analysis of enrollment in HIV preventive vaccine trials from 2002 to 2016 was undertaken to compare to the former study as well as compare to the current demographic distribution of trial participants to the number of new HIV diagnoses in the US annually. Methods: Participant demographic data of 43 Phase 1 and Phase 2A trials conducted in the United States were examined. Distributions of participants by racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identity were calculated. The racial/ethnic distribution of participants was compared to that of the former study and over time by US geographic region. Racial and ethnic distributions from 2011 to 2015 were compared to CDC data on the number of new HIV diagnoses in the same time period. Recruitment strategies used by trial sites were reviewed to account for differences in minority enrollment by region. Results: A total of 3,469 participants were included in the analysis. Thirty three percent of all participants identified as a racial/ethnic minority, a significant increase from the previous time period. The proportions of enrollment of Black and Hispanic/Latinx participants were substantially less than their respective proportions of new HIV diagnoses in all regions. No conclusions were able to be made on data regarding sexual orientation and gender identity due to inconsistencies in collection and reporting. Conclusions: Although the proportion of all racial and ethnic minority group members enrolled in HVTN preventive vaccine clinical trials in the US has increased from the previous time period, comparison to data on new HIV diagnoses in the country reflects a need to continue to enhance diversity among the trial participant pools. More standardized data collection for sexual orientation and gender identity is required for any meaningful future analysis of these populations.

▼ Background: Gaps in health care financing and absent risk coping strategies have led to an influx of new community health insurance (CHI) schemes in developing countries. These CHI programs have reduced the burden of health care cost, but have achieved variable levels of success in improving the health outcomes of member populations. Kisiizi Hospital (KH) has an existing CHI, the KH Health Insurance Scheme (KHHIS). KH administration seeks to modify the scheme to better respond to patient needs and improve health outcomes for patients through increasing patient knowledge. This study was conducted to determine if community leaders in the KHHIS catchment area could effectively educate the KHHIS member population on topics presented at a KHHIS health promotion workshop. Methods: This study was a prospective quasi-experimental study. The intervention included training of community leaders on selected health topics during a one-day workshop. A proportion of the community leaders were instructed to educate members of their village. To assess the success of this intervention we performed a community-level knowledge assessment to measure the ability of leaders to pass on health information. The training workshop included 72 village chairpersons and the community survey included 5 engozis (villages) as a training group and 6 engozis as a comparison group. Two sample t-tests were performed to determine whether the training increased the health knowledge of members. Results: There was a 0.37 mean score increase observed in the training group and a 0.53 mean score increase observed in the comparison group; but the results were not statistically significant. Discussion: Utilizing trained community leaders to educate KHHIS members did not result in a significant knowledge change among the member population. We recommend modifications to future iterations of this health education program to increase the likelihood of success. Advisors/Committee Members: Babigumira, Joseph B (advisor).

▼ Background: The Ethiopia Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) demonstrated strong leadership and commitment in using the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) funds to develop a health workforce that is sufficient to cope with the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ethiopia. This support is focused on expanding in-service training to address needs across all the health systems. However, the in-service training efforts-keeping record of what types of training and how many trainings healthcare workers received-of various PEPFAR funded organizations lacks coordination and collaboration. Method: This study used data from the International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH). I-TECH uses Training System and Monitoring and Reporting Tool (TrainSMART) to track data on training programs, trainers, and trainees. The software was developed to accurately track training efforts, evaluate programs, and report activities to various stakeholders. TrainSMART data from HIV/AIDS related in-service trainings in Ethiopia between April 2005 and February 2012 were analyzed. Results: A total of 7,062 individuals attended a wide range of HIV/AIDS related trainings in Ethiopia from April 2005 to February 2012. Of the total number of trainees, 61% attended one training, 17 % attended two trainings, and 11% attended three trainings. There were 13 individuals who attended 10 or more training sessions. A total of 417 trainees took the same training more than once. This was most common amongst the mid-level clinicians (4%), laboratory staff (4%), and social service workers (4%), followed by nurses (3%). Taking the same training more than once was more common for the topics of National Comprehensive ART-HIV Care (11%), the HIV Advanced Nurse Specialist Program (7%), Prevention with Positives Training (6%), and PMTCT (5%). Conclusion: It is important for FMOH and national and international partners to work toward greater efficiency and effective use of training resources. Duplication of training wastes resources, creates loss of opportunity for those who really need training, and results in unnecessary absence of staff from healthcare facilities, impairing a health system that is already understaffed.

▼ Collaboration between community-based health workers and health facilities is important for patient care and for addressing the health needs of communities. This study aimed to explore the extent and nature of the interactions between health workers posted at health facilities and those based within communities in a selected setting of the North Bank East Region, The Gambia, in order to inform design of a malaria control trial in the region and contribute to global research on strengthening community health worker programs and their connection to the health system. We conducted a qualitative study in the North Bank East region of The Gambia, which included 24 semi-structured interviews with Village Health Workers (VHWs), Community Health Nurses (CHNs), and health facility nurses. Respondents were asked about roles and responsibilities, referral, follow-up, supervision, trainings, and support, monitoring and accountability, and challenges to their work. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. A number of factors were found to be important in influencing the collaboration between community-based health workers and health facilities. Community-based CHNs serve an intermediary role and provide support to both the VHWs and the health facilities; however, we found a significant disconnect between VHWs and health facilities that was not sufficiently bridged by the CHNs. This disconnect may be partly a result of limited opportunities for VHWs and health facility staff to interact; a gap that is further reinforced by undervaluation of the VHW’s role and contribution in the health system. External pressures and funding mechanisms limit local and regional agency, which our findings suggest is an underlying factor that de-incentivizes collaboration beyond what is needed to fulfill tasks relate to specific indicators. The results of this study suggest the need for interventions – such as the trial this study was a part of – and the regional/national health system more generally, to find ways of integrating, and strengthening referral and feedback systems, between VHWs and health facilities. This would result in increased opportunities for all health facility staff to interact, greater local and regional agency to make decisions and, ultimately, stronger health systems that are better able to provide care.

▼ HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is an effective biomedical approach for HIV prevention. However, PrEP is an underutilized resource among Latinx and Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. Peer navigation approaches are being widely scaled up to support PrEP uptake and adherence, though it remains unclear what strategies work best to effectively address the diverse social and cultural needs of Latinx and Black MSM. This study is based on qualitative research conducted on a subset of 66 Latinx and Black MSM residing in Western Washington who participated in an online CAPI REDCap survey. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 21 men selected through purposive sampling methods to evaluate the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other identities men possessed and how this related to their views on PrEP in general, and on peer navigation specifically. Thematic analysis was used to identify and analyze emergent themes. Four major themes emerged as relevant to PrEP interest and uptake: 1) disclosure concerns for bisexual/gay masculine identified men; 2) specific challenges for Latinx MSM, including migration status and need for advocacy; 3) specific challenges for Black MSM, including discrimination and need lack of trust; and 4) special considerations for younger men, including limited knowledge and experience discussing sexual health and an interest in more comprehensive peer intervention content. Interest in peer navigation was high among study participants, particularly for men with limited social support or English proficiency and for men who had moved from out of state or another country. Several potential approaches to improve peer navigation were identified, including developing culturally congruent programming to match peers with men based on various identity considerations and identified needs, employing social media such as chatrooms and informational phone lines as complementary combination strategies, and incorporating trauma-informed care into a peer navigation program for Latinx and Black MSM. Tailored peer navigation approaches may help MSM of color by increasing resilience to societal stigma at the individual level, enhancing social support at the interpersonal level and serving as a bridge to providers at the structural level. These strategies could ultimately reduce racial/ethnic HIV disparities, if implemented. Advisors/Committee Members: Graham, Susan (advisor).

▼ Introduction: The Integrated Infectious Disease Capacity Building Evaluation (IDCAP) team evaluated two malaria case management interventions that were implemented in 36 health facilities in Uganda using facility-based and population-based data. The population survey was administered in the catchment areas surrounding the IDCAP facilities to measure utilization of care at the facilities as well as the effects of the interventions on mortality of children under five years of age (U5). The relationship between health facility-based data, population-based data, and the quality of malaria case management in children U5 is explored. Methods: Using malaria case management facility-based data, variables for health facility performance were created. Using the population survey, healthcare utilization questions were used to define the following three performance variables: delay in seeking care, whether a child had a blood test taken, and whether a child received a drug. Linear and logistic regressions were used to explore the relationship between the two sources of data on health facility performance. Results: The regression coefficients for the delay in seeking care variable regressed on having a blood test taken are as follows: best performing (reference): 0, 2nd best: 0.78 (0.43, 1.14), 3rd best: 0.19 (-0.20, 0.58), lowest performing: -0.39 (-0.76, -0.02); p <0.001. The regression coefficients for the delay in seeking care variable regressed on being given a drug are as follows: best performing (reference): 0, 2nd best: -0.10 (-0.47, 0.27), 3rd best: -0.36 (-0.76, 0.04), lowest performing: 0.33 (-0.08, 0.74); p =0.01. The odds ratios for the blood test taken variable are as follows: best performing (reference): 1, 2nd best: 0.96 (0.57, 1.61), third best performing: 0.92 (0.52, 1.62), lowest performing: 0.73 (0.43, 1.24); p =0.76. The odds ratios for the drug(s) given variable are as follows: (reference): 1, 2nd best: 1.26 (0.54, 2.97), 3rd best: 0.66 (0.30, 1.45), lowest performing: 1.21 (0.51, 2.85); p =0.14. Discussion: The delay in seeking care variable shows a statistically significant difference across categories of the facility-based measures of malaria test recorded and malaria drug(s) given. Overall, there is the need for more research, as this study is one of the first of its kind. Advisors/Committee Members: Weaver, Marcia R (advisor).

▼ Objective: To propose a novel method for estimating under-five mortality by day of age. Data: All available complete birth histories from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), along with state-level vital registration from the United States (1959-2004) and Brazil (1979-2013), were included in this analysis. A total of 85 DHS surveys from 46 locations and 60 MICS surveys from 42 locations were compiled. Methods: First, modified Oppermann, Steffensen, Bourgeois-Pichat, Heligman-Pollard, exponential, gamma, generalized-gamma, beta, and power-law models were fit to each location-source-year-sex separately by non-linear least squares optimization. The outcome of interest was a conditional probability density: probability of dying on day x conditional on death before 5 years of age. Each model’s performance across the dataset was synthesized by comparing overall and age-specific residuals. Next, these parametric model fits were used to compile a model database, and a relational model system was proposed. With this relational model, summary measures of early, late, post-neonatal, and 1-4-year mortality are decomposed into by-day probabilities of death. Results: Median sum of square log-errors is lowest for the power-law, beta, gamma, and generalized gamma models, closely followed by the Weibull, Steffensen, and Heligman-Pollard models. The exponential and Bourgeois-Pichat are ill-performing by comparison, and the Oppermann model performs well for a subset of cohorts. Each of the top models tends to under-estimate mortality in the first few days. The relational model application compiled from these model fits resulted in mean coverage of 46.8 percent for MICS, and 44.0, 56.1, and 52.6 percent for DHS, Brazil VR, and USA VR. Conclusions: Childhood mortality has received a lot of attention by global health experts, and understanding age-specific mortality within the under-5 age group is essential to understand the progress made to-date and the challenges remaining. However, most research has focused on a few discrete age groups: neonatal, infant, and child (1-4 years). This paper examines the potential of various parametric models to describe the age pattern of mortality. We find that while no one existing model well describes the age pattern by day, a collective can be used to form an ensemble that when applied through a relational model, gives us the potential to take mortality from any two aggregate age groups and extrapolate to any age group of interest.

▼ Introduction: Attrition of patients from care is a critical barrier toward an effective scale-up of HIV services in Sub-Saharan Africa. As part of the HIV care cascade, pre-Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) care is an important pre-requisite for early initiation of ART and optimal clinical outcomes. However, the body of evidence on pre-ART care attrition is limited in Sudan. Baseline data on the scale of pre-ART attrition and associated factors was needed to develop interventions as part of the Sudan National AIDS and STI control Program (SNAP) HIV care scale-up process. Methods: Cross-sectional study using a questionnaire and facility checklist as study tools. The Study tools were filled from primary (study index cases) and secondary data sources (Patient HIV Cards, Pre-ART and Tracking/Appointment Registers) collected between November 1st, 2012 and May 31st, 2013 of pre-ART patients in six ART facilities in Sudan. Prevalence of retention was estimated using crude proportions. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with pre-ART attrition. Qualitative assessment was also conducted using phone interviews to determine possible causes of attrition. Results: We found 78.5% of newly diagnosed patients (n=497) were registered in HIV care with 233 patients enrolled in pre-ART care. Out of which 64.8% (95% Confidence Interval, CI 58.8-70.8) were lost to follow-up (LTFU). Only 48 (31.8%) of those LTFU were successfully traced and out of which 45.8% were dead. Nondisclosure of HIV status (Odds Ratio, OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.09-6.62) and advanced HIV clinical staging (OR 5.94, 95% CI 2.84-12.44) were factors significantly associated with attrition in multivariate analysis. Non-adherence to guidelines and poor utilization of monitoring and follow-up tools at facility level also seem to attribute to pre-ART attrition. Qualitative analyses found that patient relocation and perception of good health were the main reasons cited for attrition. Conclusion: Existent high rates of attrition are related to disclosure status, advanced disease stage, residence in state with treatment services and patients understanding of the disease. These factors from patients' records can be used as "early warning default indicators" to initiate ART rapidly, provide intensive counseling or transfer to nearby treatment center which may reduce attrition. The national program will also need to make concerted efforts to strengthen pre-ART quality of care. This will require further evaluation in future studies.

▼ Background: In 2015, 1,356 deaths resulted from arrest-related interactions with US law enforcement – a near two-fold increase in known deaths in the previous ten years, according to open-sourced records. Strong public interest and controversy surrounding recent arrest-related deaths (ARDs) in the United States highlights the importance of a better understanding of the public health burden, the trends, and the factors associated with these ARDs. Indeed, little is known about these deaths or their relationship to policing practices. Our aim was to evaluate the official surveillance system for identifying, reporting, and monitoring ARDs. Then, using open-sourced death records, we sought to determine the association between ARDs and policing practices, specifically community-based policing. Methods: We first evaluated the current surveillance system, the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program ARD collection (hereafter DCRP), assessing the system attributes and its level of usefulness to public health. Next, to investigate the impact of Community Policing we constructed a cross-sectional dataset using counts of ARDs from the open-sourced database, Fatal Encounters, a public-driven database documenting deaths through police interactions. We first compiled a panel data set from three periods of the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey on ARDs. However, due to poor overlap between panels, changes in survey design, and diminishing data quality in earlier years, we focused only on the most recent survey. We case-matched records of ARDs occurring between January 2012 and April 2016 from Fatal Encounters to the LEMAS responses, collected in 2012 from 2,826 law enforcement agencies. We used arrest counts from the 2012 Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCRP) with imputed estimates for observations with incomplete reports. We included Census-derived community level characteristics for education, race, and poverty. We modeled the rate of ARDs as our outcome of interest, investigating the effect of Community Policing and other covariates. Findings: The DCRP falls short of the level of completeness and quality necessary for any practical application as a surveillance system. State counts are reported on a quarterly basis but greatly underestimate the true burden. When restricted to homicides by law enforcement – a subset of ARDs – the DCRP was found to capture fewer than half of all deaths in the United States between 2003 and 2011. No studies have been identified that employ DCRP data to assess any prevention or control efforts, and no changes in policy or agency level practices have been attributed to data collected through the DCRP. 2,826 agencies completed the LEMAS in 2012. Of these, 813 (29%) were linked to one or more ARDs over the observed period. These agencies accounted for 3,380 (60.4%) of the reported ARDs in following years, with the remaining 2,219 unmatched to the law enforcement agencies sampled. Using a negative binomial model to account for the over-dispersion in our outcome, we found… Advisors/Committee Members: El Bcheraoui, Charbel (advisor).
