Bio
Mika Thompson is a Health Data Analyst with the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup in Honolulu, HI (USA). Joining public health in 2018, Mika has had the opportunity to work on a wide range of research topics, most of which related to chronic disease epidemiology, as well as substance use prevention. He is passionate about data analysis and uncovering actionable insights to improve the health and wellbeing of the community that raised him.
His education includes a BSc in Psychology, MSc in Public Health with a concentration in Epidemiology, and a graduate certificate in Measurement and Statistics from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where he is a PhD candidate in Epidemiology. He enjoys research centered on physical activity, especially as it relates to the people of Hawaiʻi. Despite recently learning the toll of fatherhood can have on maintaining a physically active lifestyle, he does get to enjoy chasing his two toddlers around various beaches and parks and taking his dog on long quiet walks alone.
