Methodologically, I am particularly interested in rapid community field methods that blend qualitative and quantitative approaches, and in distance-based, innovative teaching strategies. Geographically, I have a special interest in health and technology in areas of political, social, or environmental unrest.
OVERVIEW
Timothy Dye is Chief of the Division of Public Health Practice and Associate Professor of Community and Preventive Medicine at the University of Rochester. Both a medical anthropologist and epidemiologist by training, Dye concentrates on the blending of qualitative and quantitative methods in assessing local health needs and services. Dye's international work has focused upon the social epidemiology of maternal and child health and community health informatics in India, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Kenya, and Northern Ireland. Dye is the PI of an NIH-funded project to develop community health informatics training and research infrastructure in collaboration with the LINCOS project of Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, and also is PI of a CDC-funded English- and Spanish-language distance-learning program in maternal and child health epidemiology. Dye has served as a consultant to several states and countries in the development of perinatal information systems, and has regularly led teams of students and researchers on field projects around the world.
