Dean Vincent Guilamo-Ramos was featured in the September issue of the American Academy of Nursing's FAAN Mail newsletter for the Viewpoint entitled “Parent-Based Sexual Health Promotion and Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevention for Youth." 

The Viewpoint appeared in August in “JAMA Pediatrics. With Ramos as the leading author, the piece was co-written by Marco Thimm-Kaiser, associate in research, Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health, and Guillermo J. Prado, of the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies and Graduate School. The Viewpoint adds to the renewed national discussion surrounding sexual health and the increasing incidence of STIs as a growing source of morbidity among young people in the U.S. In the article, Ramos and his co-authors discuss targeted programming that incorporates parents as partners in STI prevention as a particularly promising — albeit currently underused — approach for addressing STIs among youth.
