  • "Anemia, micronutrient deficiencies, malaria, hemoglobinopathies and malnutrition in young children and non-pregnant women in Ghana: Findings from a national survey" (2020, PLoS ONE)
  • "Estimating national and subnational nutrient intake distributions of global diets" (2022, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
  • "Association of maternal diet, micronutrient status, and milk volume with milk micronutrient concentrations in Indonesian mothers at 2 and 5 months postpartum" (2020, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
  • "Human Milk Bioactive Components and Child Growth and Body Composition in the First 2 Years: A Systematic Review" (2023, Advances in Nutrition)
  • "Amino Acid Digestibility of Extruded Chickpea and Yellow Pea Protein is High and Comparable in Moderately Stunted South Indian Children with Use of a Dual Stable Isotope Tracer Method" (2020, Journal of Nutrition)

Allen collaborates frequently with other researchers in the field. Their most frequent co-authors include Daniela Hampel, Setareh Shahab-Ferdows, Gilberto Kac, Sophie E. Moore, and Daniela de Barros Mucci.
