Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I am an epidemiologist in the Department of Women, Children and Family Health Science in the UIC College of Nursing. My research explores sociobehavioral context of reproductive health, both domestically and globally. I also examine psychosocial predictors of sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, including pregnancy desire among adolescent females and males, and the influence of future expectations on risk behaviors in adolescence; ways to understand and promote breastfeeding, particularly among adolescents and in low-income countries.
Any relevant financial relationships? No
