OverviewAI-generated summary
Kari A. Weber's research focuses on the epidemiology of reproductive and developmental outcomes, investigating the associations between environmental exposures and health. Her work has examined the impact of greenspace, air pollution, and neighborhood characteristics on conditions such as preeclampsia and birth defects. Weber also studies factors influencing infant sex and preterm birth status, particularly in relation to congenital anomalies. Her research methodologies often involve population-based case-control studies and quasi-experimental designs.
She has published on topics including the assessment of trihalomethane exposure metrics in epidemiologic analyses and the evaluation of community-based health initiatives like the Little Rock Green Schoolyard. Weber's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11 with 35 total publications and 274 citations. Key collaborators include researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
