Biographical: I am an epidemiologist, professionally trained in epidemiology in The Netherlands (MSc Biomedical Health Sciences, major in epidemiology, Radboud University of Nijmegen). I obtained my PhD from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, reporting on a randomized controlled clinical trial on the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Since then I have been registered as senior epidemiologist with the National Committee for Medical-Biological Training in the Netherlands. After my PhD I have been involved in research studies focusing on the health and health care use of refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants in the Netherlands. In 2007 I moved to South Africa to work as a senior lecturer in epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Venda, Thohoyandou where I was involved in a project on the malaria incidence in Limpopo province. I have a series of publications in highly regarded international peer-reviewed journals. And I am a member of the executive committee of the Public Health Association of South Africa. I - Dr. Annette Gerritsen, epidemiologist- founded Epi Result - a company specialised in assisting clients with designing epidemiological studies, analysing data from these studies as well as the reporting on these studies - in 2008. As an epidemiologist I have strong capabilities in epidemiology, biostatistics, and quantitative research methods.
Favourite Publications: In general I use whatever is needed for a particular research project. As I am based in South Africa, I e.g. keep an eye on the South African Medical Journal.
