PhD student Brittney Sullivan recently published an article entitled "Community-Informed Health Promotion to Improve Health Behaviors in Honduras" in the Journal of Transcultural Nursing. Co-author is Duke School of Medicine Professor Janet Prvu Bettger.

Abstract: Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America. The already high burden of disease is disproportionately worse among individuals with less education and limited access to health care. Community engagement is needed to bridge the gap in health care resources with the need for health promotion and education. Culturally relevant health promotion activities can foster transcultural partnerships. The purpose of this study was to partner nursing students with village leaders to assess a community’s health needs and implement health promotion activities in Honduras.
