OverviewAI-generated summary
Eduardo Ochoa's research focuses on child health, particularly in the context of socioeconomic factors and public health guidelines. He has co-authored clinical practice guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of obesity in children and adolescents. His work also investigates the impact of economic hardships on household health, including studies on unmet basic needs during the first 1000 days of life and their association with preterm birth, as well as changes in economic hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, with attention to differences by nativity and race.
Further research by Ochoa examines the association between prenatal participation in the WIC program and infant birth weight among infants born to mothers in the United States. He has also contributed to the development and validation of abbreviated food security scales for use in clinical and research settings. Ochoa's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, with 47 total publications and over 2,100 citations.
