Danielle Poole, ScD

Population Health Scientist

Dr. Danielle (Dani) Poole is a population health scientist notable for her contributions to the evidence base for humanitarian decision-making. Within the broader field of humanitarian health research, her work is centered around two themes: measuring needs among populations affected by crises with a focus on health during displacement, and developing novel research methods for complex settings to achieve internal and external generalizability. Recent and ongoing research contributions that have informed humanitarian response include an independent review of the Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (in partnership with UNOCHA), development of the Humanitarian Data Strategy for UNFPA's Humanitarian Office, and geospatial analysis of health facility attacks in Ukraine (Yale University).

Dr. Caputo is widely published in emergency medicine and his research seeks to understand the evidence behind the conventional wisdom practiced in emergency departments across the world in order to determine the efficacy of current management strategies (such as preoxygenation in RSI, apneic oxygenation during intubation, non-invasive markers for occult shock) in order to improve safety and quality outcomes for patients. He focuses jointly on medical pathology and socioeconomic disparities in medicine.
