Dr. Dozier's current research and fieldwork focus on community level evaluation and maternal child health outcomes. The latter includes data analysis, program evaluation and data driven program planning through her work with a federally funded Healthy Start Project. She also oversees the upstate New York Finger Lakes Region Perinatal Database containing extensive records on all births from 1998 to present from this nine county region. Her research interest in MCH includes substance use/abuse during pregnancy, urban populations and racial/ethnic disparities. Dr. Dozier's work extends to evaluation of system level changes. Within MCH this encompasses health and human service integration. Internationally this comprises evaluation of the impact of technology on communities in the developing world, with particular emphasis on health and the environment. As Director of the Department's Research Services Group, Dr. Dozier consults on methodological approaches from survey design to qualitative approaches. This is an extension of her work to develop a different conceptual approach to measuring satisfaction, focusing on achievement of client/customer goals.
