Andrew Chalupka joined the Post-Bachelor Fellowship program in 2007 at the Harvard Initiative for Global Health. Andrew worked on the Causes of Death research team, developing models to estimate adult mortality in countries lacking reliable vital registration systems. Andrew also participated in the analysis of the consistency of health state rankings between countries and across demographic subpopulations, using the 2000-2001 WHO Multi-Country Survey Study on Health and Responsiveness.
Andrew’s research on the Causes of Death research team suggests that prevention of premature adult death is just as important for global health policy as the improvement of child survival, and that routine monitoring of adult mortality should be given much greater emphasis.
After his tenure as a Post-Bachelor Fellow, Andrew went on to the combined MD/MBA program at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School.
