Research Highlights*

Complementary to the biological and epidemiological studies in the tropics has been a series of policy analyses focused on health impact assessment and mitigation strategies for large scale development programs. Analyses of health impact assessments for the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project and Nam Theun 2 Hydroelectric Project in Laos have been carried out in collaboration with Juerg Utzinger (Swiss Tropical Institute) and Gary Krieger (Newfields, Inc., Denver). Singer has also carried out an in-depth policy analysis of the health consequences of the Madeira River Hydropower Project in Brazil in collaboration with Marcia Castro (Harvard University). A series of analyses of the health impact assessment and mitigation requirements currently developing as legislation for the state of Alaska-- linked to mining, oil, and gas projects--is planned in collaboration with Gary Krieger.
