Social, Demographic, and Health Research

Dana A. Glei, Ph.D., Research Consultant

      Dana Glei has a PhD in sociology with a specialization in demography from Princeton University. She has been doing research consulting since 1996 and has worked with researchers in demography, epidemiology, public health, medicine, sociology, psychology, and economics. Working from her home in Santa Rosa, CA, Dana assists clients with social, demographic, and health research including locating data sources, formulating a research plan, identifying appropriate methods, performing statistical programming, analyzing the data, and reporting results. In addition to a strong background in research design and quantitative methodology, Dana has extensive experience doing statistical programming and data analysis.

Examples of prior consulting engagements:

• Selected and summarized top scientific publications by grantees supported by the Population and Social Processes Branch of NIA (under subcontract with Rose Li & Associates).


• Designed statistical programs to implement standardized tabulations for all datasets being analyzed by various team members; constructed key indicators; and produced time-series estimates for the State of Longevity Project at Stanford University.


• Developed an innovative method for calculating deaths attributable to smoking in high-income countries (collaboration with researcher at University of Pennsylvania; the work was published by the National Academy of Sciences).


• Calculated patterns of teen sexual activity and contraceptive use based on a national survey and combined those results with population estimates in order to project the number of teen pregnancies averted due to contraceptive use for a study funded by the California Wellness Foundation (collaboration with researchers at the University of California, San Francisco).

Background

      After finishing her master's degree at the University of Virginia, Dana started her research career as an analyst at Child Trends, a think tank in Washington, DC, that specializes in policy-related research on children and families. Later, she moved to the San Francisco Bay area where she worked as a SAS programmer and senior analyst in the Division of Research at Kaiser Permanente until returning to graduate school to complete her PhD. She returned to the East Coast in order to receive training in demography at Princeton University's Office of Population Research. While at Princeton, she collaborated with faculty members on various research projects and served as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate research methods course and a graduate level seminar on empirical research.
