Her research on infant feeding in Uganda developed an observational methodology for measuring mothers’ implementation of exclusive breastfeeding. Dr. Davis-Olwell has over 10 years experience conducting research on infant feeding practices and maternal and child health in Africa (Uganda and Ghana). She was on the faculty of Population Studies at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda and she has collaborated with faculty at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. Dr. Davis-Olwell recently completed an NIH funded fellowship in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in which she studied CAM therapies for depression, including yoga and energy healing.
