Updates: I will graduate with my MPH from SCSU in May 2017. I was selected as a Graduate Research Fellow this semester for my thesis work, which focuses on the effects of a couples-based, relationship-strengthening HIV/STI prevention intervention on parenting outcomes among adolescent parenting couples in New Haven, CT. I also gave a panel presentation as part of the Children’s Health panel at the CPHA Centennial Conference in November 2016 about the previously described intervention.
My sons, Oliver, 4, and Eli, 2, are doing well and will both be starting at new schools in the fall.
