His research seeks to estimate complex and multilevel interactions across social, environmental, and climate-relevant exposures and associations with population health. By focusing on understudied drivers of climate change, Dr. Cerna-Turoff aims to produce high-quality and actionable evidence to inform policy and interventions that improve the health of vulnerable populations globally, especially women and children. Dr. Cerna-Turoff is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.
