a. Conduct complex epidemiological and statistical analysis of traffic deaths and severe injuries using advanced analytical techniques (e.g., Stata, SAS, ArcGIS). Oversee design and implementation of studies, interpretation of findings, and dissemination of reports, presentations, maps, and other communications. b. Develop evaluation framework for grant-funded initiatives. Plan, design and implement evaluation of Public Health initiatives and serve as content specialist for grant partners in developing evaluation plans for their efforts. c. Conduct ongoing analysis of traffic deaths and severe injuries, examining trends over time, geographic distribution, collision causes, and alcohol-involved injuries and deaths, with a focus on communities of color, low-income communities, and populations at greatest risk, e.g. seniors, bicyclists, and pedestrians to identify groups disproportionately impacted. d. Prepare a Senior Transportation Safety Report consisting of an analysis and written brief describing fatal and severe pedestrian collisions involving seniors in unincorporated areas; key factors contributing to crashes; locations of high injury crashes; need for senior “traffic safety focus areas;” and projects and programs that can help keep older adults safe. e. Prepare and disseminate other written reports and briefs describing results of ongoing equity analysis, project evaluation, interpretation of findings, geospatial maps, and recommendations. f. Oversee development of a traffic safety data dashboard depicting patterns and trends in historical data with maps, charts, and tables, visually representing progress toward reducing traffic deaths and severe injuries. g. Liaise with and convene partner agencies for collaboration around data activities, including for the purpose of establishing data sharing agreements to gain access to large and complex data sets for traffic injury surveillance and analysis purposes; agencies may include Public Works, California Highway Patrol, Emergency Medical Services Agency, trauma hospitals, and others. h. Serve as lead author on peer-reviewed journals articles related to traffic injury surveillance, research, and evaluation. Provides guidance to staff on preparing manuscripts; reviews and edits draft manuscripts; and presents research findings at professional meetings.
