Dean Vincent Guilamo-Ramos coauthored the recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's "Sexually Transmitted Infections: Adopting a Sexual Health Paradigm" report. Ramos served on the committee that reviewed the current state of STIs in the United States and produced the report to provide recommendations on future public health programs, policy and research. 

One in five people in the United States had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on any given day in 2018, totaling nearly 68 million estimated infections. STIs are often asymptomatic (especially in women) and are therefore often undiagnosed and unreported. Untreated STIs can have severe health consequences, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, miscarriage or newborn death, and increased risk of HIV infection, genital and oral cancers, neurological and rheumatological effects. In light of this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through the National Association of County and City Health Officials, commissioned the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to examine the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and provide recommendations for action.

To complement the report, the National Academics of Sciences also released five report briefs, a brief quiz and a series of supplementary videos on YouTube. Ramos and DUSON are featured in the videos, "What is Sexual Health?" and "We Need More Awareness On Sexual Health | Adopting A Sexual Health Paradigm."
