Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I recently completed a doctorate in education (Ed.D.) at Teachers College, Columbia University . My research focused on culturally relevant ways to teach HIV/AIDS topics in the Cote D'Ivoire. My qualitative study described and analyzed Ivorian community elders’ views of sociocultural factors that influenced the implementation of HIV/AIDS education within Ivorian schools. My research concentrated on how school and community-based connections can be used to improve African students’ sexual health.
