Prof. David Guwatudde

David Guwatudde is a professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the School of Public Health, Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda; where he has been teaching for over 32 years. Over the past 10 years his research interest has been in the area of non-communicable diseases (NCD), focusing on characterizing their epidemiology, and evaluation of the effectiveness of context-relevant interventions for prevention and control of high burden NCDs. His primary interest in adolescent and young adults research is motivated by the increasing evidence that risk factors for NCDs are adapted early during adolescence and youth, leading to the development of the NCDs later in life.
