Matthew Kearney, MPH is a Doctor of Public Health candidate at the Dornsife School of Public Health and Doctoral Research Fellow at the Drexel Urban Health Collaborative. In this blog post, he reflects on his February 2018 experience attending a weeklong research methods workshop series in Dakar, Senegal. Mr. Kearney’s doctoral research is centered on using novel research methods that incorporate mHealth and social media to evaluate school-based health programs and assess adolescents’ health seeking behavior and health literacy. This blog entry touches on the applicability of the Senegalese workshop to Mr. Kearney’s doctoral research.
