COVID, Trust, and Health Disparities: Interview with Sandra Crouse Quinn, Ph.D. (Part 2) | Ep #48
<p>In Part Two of my conversation with Sandra Crouse Quinn, we talk about COVID and trust, plus future challenges when it comes to increasing health equity. Dr. Quinn and her colleague Stephen Thomas were two of the first researchers to shine a light on the impact the Tuskegee syphilis experiment had on trust in the African-American community — and by extension, on other communities of color. Together, we look ahead at the work that remains to be done to rebuild trust in public health.<br/><br/><b>Resources:</b><br/><br/>The article that made people sit up and take notice:<br/>Thomas, S.

Tuskegee’s Impact on Trust: Interview with Sandra Crouse Quinn, Ph.D. (Part 1) | Ep #47
<p>For most people in public health today, the role that trust — or more accurately, distrust — often plays in racial health disparities may seem obvious. When both lived experience and research confirm that implicit and intentional bias in the system have resulted in real harm, it’s a rational response to be wary or distrustful. However, for years after the Tuskegee experiment, public health was actually quick to blame other cultural, educational, or individual factors for low levels of trust in public health and medicine. That is, until my guest in this episode came along.<br/><br/>Sandra Quinn and her co-author Stephen Thomas were the first two researchers to connect Tuskegee’s impact on trust to beliefs and behaviors in the African-American community during the emergence of HIV/AIDS. Since then, Dr. Quinn and her colleagues have gone on to lead some of the most important research on trust and racial health inequities (and I’m proud to have been involved in a small part of that research with such a fantastic mentor!)<br/><br/>The first of my two-part interview is a must-listen for anyone interested in health equity: You’ll hear some history you’ve never heard before about the ripple effect of Tuskegee, from the AIDS crisis to the anthrax attacks. (In Part 2 we’ll talk about COVID, plus future challenges when it comes to building trust).<br/><br/><b>Resources:</b><br/><br/>The article that made people sit up and take notice:<br/><br/>Thomas, S.

Applying Adult Learning Theory to Health Promotion | Ep #46
<p>While effective teachers and professors consider adult learning theory one of the go-to frameworks for curriculum development, you may not realize how useful it can be, and how well-researched it is, in the world of health promotion and health communication.
