  • Crisis Centers help

    I was helped tremendously by a crisis pregnancy center. Even 3 years later and a new baby, they help with a lot of things. Planned parenthood never once offered me free diapers. Planned parenthood is evil. Why hate crisis pregnancy centers when they’re funded by donors?

  • Need to take a break.

    I think there’s too much of a push to make content these days that we’re missing the point of the show. When there are fewer episodes per week, the show has a lot more depth. With each of the mini episodes and check in episodes (don’t forget the ads), it’s losing its important voice in all the fluff. Scaling down would make for better engagement.

SMNTY Classics: What is KOSA and Why is it so Scary?

SMNTY Classics: What is KOSA and Why is it so Scary?

SMNTY Classics: What is KOSA and Why is it so Scary?
Q: What is COSA and why is it controversial?

SMNTY Interviews: Dr. Sika Dedo
Q: What surprised you during your research, especially regarding health communication in Senegal?
I was surprised by the depth of HIV/AIDS communications, including school programs and collaborations with religious leaders, which indicate a strong, culturally embedded approach to public health education.

Q: What were some of the key factors associated with higher antenatal care use and better HIV knowledge?
Higher education, greater wealth, and employment were consistently linked to more eight-plus antenatal visits and better knowledge about HIV transmission, with younger age among new mothers also playing a role in knowledge levels.
