The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Public health
  • Epidemiology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Demography, Rural area, Gerontology and Cohort study. The concepts of his Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study are interwoven with issues in Psychological intervention, Psychiatry, Longitudinal study and Public health. The Public health study combines topics in areas such as Interpersonal communication, Human sexuality, Reproductive medicine and Reproductive health.

His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Child rearing, Rural health, Incidence and Sexually transmitted disease. Mark Urassa combines Rural area and Context in his research. His Cohort study research includes elements of Family planning, Total fertility rate, Fertility and Epidemiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Secretive Females or Swaggering Males? An Assessment of the Quality of Sexual Partnership Reporting in Rural Tanzania (203 citations)
  • Barriers to Accessing Antiretroviral Therapy in Kisesa, Tanzania: A Qualitative Study of Early Rural Referrals to the National Program. (168 citations)
  • The impact of HIV/AIDS on mortality and household mobility in rural Tanzania. (154 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Mark Urassa mostly deals with Demography, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Rural area, Cohort study and Cohort. His Demography study incorporates themes from Young adult, Epidemiology, Incidence and Sexually transmitted disease. His work in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome addresses subjects such as Psychiatry, which are connected to disciplines such as Family medicine.

When carried out as part of a general Rural area research project, his work on Rural people is frequently linked to work in Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His study in Cohort study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seroconversion, Pediatrics and Confidence interval. His work deals with themes such as Rural tanzania, Disease surveillance and Antiretroviral therapy, which intersect with Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Demography (39.29%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (35.71%)
  • Rural area (24.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Demography (39.29%)
  • Geography (7.86%)
  • Global health (3.57%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Mark Urassa mainly focuses on Demography, Geography, Global health, Child marriage and Sub saharan. He has included themes like Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Poisson regression, Cohort study and Public health in his Demography study. Mark Urassa interconnects Transmission and Regression discontinuity design in the investigation of issues within Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

His Poisson regression research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychological intervention, Longitudinal study, Interquartile range, Epidemiology and Young adult. His studies deal with areas such as Mortality rate, Seroconversion and Confidence interval as well as Cohort study. Mark Urassa works mostly in the field of Global health, limiting it down to concerns involving Developmental psychology and, occasionally, Qualitative property and Poverty.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changes in rapid HIV treatment initiation after national "treat all" policy adoption in 6 sub-Saharan African countries: Regression discontinuity analysis. (23 citations)
  • Lockdown measures in response to COVID-19 in nine sub-Saharan African countries. (18 citations)
  • “Child marriage” in context: exploring local attitudes towards early marriage in rural Tanzania (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Public health
  • Epidemiology

Mark Urassa mainly investigates Demographic economics, Child marriage, Socioeconomics, Geography and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His research on Demographic economics often connects related topics like Multinomial logistic regression. His Child marriage research incorporates elements of Autonomy, Social status, Local community and Context.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Communicable disease and Socioeconomics. His Geography research overlaps with Malnutrition, Population health, Tuberculosis, Pandemic and China. His studies deal with areas such as Young adult, Demography, Regression discontinuity design and Poisson regression as well as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
