I am a published medical and psychology writer particularly an expert in systematic reviews and meta-analysis. My research skills include quantitative and qualitative methods, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, data analysis (SPSS, R), writing grants, research papers, translation and cultural adaptation of manuals and scales in indigenous languages, and dissemination of results. These are the tasks that have been part of my official job plan since I am employed. I have also participated in the cultural adaptation of intervention manuals.
