Danielle (Dani) Poole
Neukom Fellow
Dr. Danielle (Dani) Poole is a population health scientist notable for her contributions to the evidence base for humanitarian decision-making, currently a Lecturer at Dartmouth College in the Departments of Epidemiology and Geography. Within the broader field of humanitarian health research, her work is centered around two themes:
1) measuring health disparities, in substantive areas of focus including mental health, gender equity, and health in-transit, and
2) developing novel research methods for complex settings for representative sampling, internal and external generalizability, and scalability.
To address these lines of inquiry, Dr. Poole applies methodological approaches spanning the epidemiological, geospatial, and political sciences. She collaborates with colleagues in Canada, Greece, Italy, Kenya, The Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, South Sudan, Turkey, and the US, among other countries.
