John P McCracken, ScD, is a Professor in the Global Health Institute and the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department at the University of Georgia. Dr. McCracken is an environmental epidemiologist whose primary research expertise relates to understanding the health effects of household air pollution (HAP) due to solid fuel use for cooking. He has collaborated on two major randomized trials of interventions to reduce HAP exposure, the first an improved biomass stove with chimney (RESPIRE) and the second a liquified petroleum gas cooking intervention (HAPIN). He is a co-investigator on ECOLECTIVOS.
Fun fact: Dr. McCracken, originally from Massachusetts, has spent one fourth of his life in Guatemala, starting in 1995 with a backpacking adventure and most recently working as a researcher at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala during 2009-2020.
