A public filing cabinet — writings, protocols, case studies, and other artifacts worth keeping out in the open. Undated on purpose. Grouped by topic, not time.

Writing

• White Paper on Vaccine Hesitancy in Sub-Saharan Africa — A mixed-methods study of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, with implications for global health and US biosecurity policy. Produced at the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, Texas A&M University.
• Social Index Value (SIV): A Comprehensive Measure of Individual Social Capital — A proposed framework for measuring individual social capital by integrating network analysis, social support measures, and other indicators into a single composite score, with applications in financial inclusion, social services, and education.
• Q1 2026: Scaling Digital Health Beyond Pilots in Nigeria — Why most digital health programs stall at the pilot stage, and how an interoperability-first design approach can unlock sustainable, nationwide implementation. Published January 2026.
• Institutionalization: Key to Sustainable and Scalable Development — The case for routing development aid directly through local government institutions rather than international contractors — and why institutional capacity building is a better long-term bet than program-level outputs. Published July 2023.
• Navigating the Complex Seas of Global Cooperation — On the tension between national sovereignty and international collective action, using the UN as a case study. Published November 2023.

Case Studies

• Enhancing CMS Stars Performance at Green Valley Care — A data-driven analysis of Medicare Advantage quality measure performance across two payers — identifying Stars gaps in CBP, DDM, and COA-PNS and designing targeted intervention programs.

Miscellaneous

• Primary Health Care in Nigeria: Redefining the Problem — Nigeria's PHC crisis is a coordination failure, not a resource problem. An analysis of the governance triangle — government, international development partners, and the private sector — and what each must do differently to achieve UHC.
• Assessing the Impact of the Nigerian Health Act — The National Health Act (2014) promised a paradigm shift for Nigeria's health sector. A decade on, the health indices tell a sobering story — and the gap between legislative intent and real-world implementation makes the case for a broader policy mix approach.
