March for Science

Hood Med Crossover Podcast

We produce our Hood Med Chats series as well as the pandemic-focused Let’s Get FACTSinated! on Hood Med Chats crossover podcast through our partnership with March for Science.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We provide vaccine education and promotion to various civic & health organizations & use our culturally tailored public health communications framework to develop equity-focused messaging targeting intersectional BIPOC communities for dissemination on multimedia platforms.

Our research goals are focused on evaluating health-related dis/misinformation propagated in BIPOC communities and designing interventional strategies to reduce its negative effects.

Cancer Awareness & Prevention

We are partnered with WHYSaveALife Foundation to promote bone marrow registration and cord blood donation among Black and Brown people to increase genetic diversity of national registries. By expanding available stem cell resources for potential therapeutics, we can increase the probability of finding a suitable donor match for patients suffering from cancer, genetic conditions, and immune disorders. 

Maternal & Infant Health

We are partnered with the UCLA Preventive Medicine Training Program to provide public health communications workshops and consultation to medical and health professional trainees from the UCLA Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health and the Black Maternal Health Center of Excellence at Charles Drew University. Our current focus is developing community-centered interventional strategies to promote health equity in maternal care access and delivery for pregnant and lactating persons in South Central LA, with the immediate priority of advocating for prenatal COVID-19 vaccine education and acceptance among these patients.

This work is supported by grant funding from UCLA Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute via an Intramural Award from the NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.

Neurodiversity 

We are currently working with UCLA and UC-LEND providing workshops to researchers and medical and health professional trainees on includsive health communications for intersectional minority communities and consulting for health equity initiatives in Los Angeles.

We are working with the Neurodiversity Health Chats group as advisory support and guiding in the creation of original infographics and social media content. This work is supported by grant funding from AUCD through a cooperative agreement with the CDC (Association of University Centers on Disabilities and Centers for Disease Control, Regional Hub Mini–Grant CDC-RFA-DD21-2105).
