Disclosure statement:

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I am an assistant professor in the Department of Global and Community Health at George Mason University and teach courses in Community Health and Health Behavior. My research addresses culture and identity in the context of health behavior; program planning, implementation, and evaluation; and health promotion initiatives through community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches. I have collaborated with UNAIDS, USAID, Africare, international foundations, federal and state ministries of health and NGOs on efforts around HIV/AIDS prevention and care, maternal and child health, and cancer prevention in Nigeria, South Africa and the United States. I hold a PhD in Biobehavioral Health from the Pennsylvania State University and MPH in Community Health Education from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Finally I did post doctoral training in CBPR at the University of Michigan School of Public Health through the W.K. Kellogg Community Health Scholar Program.
