Overview

Dr. Jeanette Stingone is a formally-trained environmental epidemiologist with a focus on perinatal and pediatric health. She conducts research that couples data science techniques with epidemiologic methods to investigate how prenatal and early-life environmental exposures affect health and development throughout childhood and beyond. Currently, she is investigating how machine learning approaches can be used to uncover the combinations of multiple environmental exposures that contribute to disease and disability in children including birth defects, adverse neurodevelopment and early puberty. Dr. Stingone also has a strong interest in the use of collective science initiatives to advance public health research, and works to develop methods and approaches for data harmonization across diverse studies of environmental health.

Urban Health Activities

NYCDOHMH Longitudinal Study of Early Development: Dr. Stingone has a longstanding collaboration with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, working to link EPA databases of air quality to the Health Department's Longitudinal Study of Early Development (LSED). LSED Project is a data linkage of five administrative databases containing information on New York City children, including birth, health and education records. By linking these data to air pollution data, Dr. Stingone and her colleagues at the Health Department have been able to investigate how higher levels of common urban air pollutants are associated with adverse school outcomes. Additionally, they have been able to evaluate how children exposed to environmental pollutants early in life may benefit from academic support services.
