Last year, Mr. Benjamin Simms, a graduate of the 2011 MPH class at the Yale School of Public Health, traveled to the Kintampo North District in Ghana for a summer internship during his studies. While there, he worked as a research assistant with the primary goal of determining whether nutritional status played a role in the response to anthelmintic treatment given to children between the ages of 6 and 11 who are infected with hookworm. He traveled each day to schools in remote villages to collect fecal samples from children to determine if they were infected with hookworm or other intestinal parasites. He also processed blood samples that were taken from each child to test for malaria and other indicators of nutritional status.
The children in the study who were infected with hookworm were referred for deworming treatment with albendazole. Two weeks later, Mr. Simms analyzed post-treatment fecal samples to determine how the children responded to treatment and to calculate the efficacy of the drug.
“I had an incredible experience in Ghana. I ate waakye, a traditional Ghanaian dish made with rice and beans; cheered the Black Stars during the World Cup; and formed lifelong friendships with my Ghanaian colleagues,” he said.
Mr. Simms, who is now enrolled in Medical School at the University of Washington, received funding for the project from the Downs Fellowship and from the Office of Student Research. He was part of a research team that consisted of two Yale medical students, researchers from the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, technicians from the Ghana Health Service and students from the Rural Health Training School in Kintampo.

Bulletin Board prepared by Project for May 17, 1940, demonstration of all WPA projects, in rotunda in the City Hall. Later placed in front entrance of 401, where it remained for the next 7 months and was of a great deal of interest to persons who came in to inquire about their births records. At this time a great demand on the vital statistics records was made because of the defense program, and the need for individuals to establish citizenship though birth certificates.

Last summer, Ms. Megan McInnis, an MPH candidate at the Yale School of Public Health, explored how stigma and gender identity affect and/or are correlated with three major mental health problems (anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder) within the homosexual and transgendered women’s community in Chennai, India. In this photo, 75 members and supporters of the LGBT community, marched down the main street of Marina Beach, one of the world’s longest beaches, and demanded basic human rights and acceptance.
“It was a powerful experience and I will always remember chanting and singing with some of the most motivated people I’ve ever met,” Ms. McInnis said.

Poster with faces of babies and toddlers.
A poem on the poster reads:
"I'll add a little cooing
to the the smile you are wooing
If you you'll tell my moms and pops
That immunization is tops
'Cause it keeps away from me
Ole smallpox and diph, you see."

Hospital room circa 1930. The metal beds were high off the floor and required a foot stool for patient comfort and safety. This height was to make the patient more accessible for procedures and nursing care. Notice also how the patient supplies consisted of the bare essentials.

This summer, East Tennessee State University College of Public Health DrPH students and Frist Global Health Leader scholarship recipients, Ms. Twanda Wadlington and Ms. Megan Quinn, worked with a local NGO in Munsieville, South Africa called Lagae La Bana (Home for the Children). The organization focuses on servicing orphaned and vulnerable children with daily meals and social support throughout the year.
Ms. Wadlington and Ms. Quinn worked with the students on a variety of programs, one of which focused on basic hygiene techniques such as oral health and hand washing. Ms. Wadlington led the oral health education of the session, while Ms. Quinn led the hand washing education.
During the oral health session the children learned the proper method of brushing their teeth in a circular motion, brushing the tongue, and the proper method of flossing. Most of the group had never seen or used floss before; so this was a new, yet exciting experience for them. To conclude the oral health education, Ms. Wadlington asked the group, “What happens if you do not brush your teeth on a regular basis?” The children responded with tooth decay, bad breath, plaque build-up, and diseases. They then discussed the types of diseases that occur from bad oral hygiene, such as gingivitis and bleeding of the gums. The oral health education ended with questioning from the students, ranging from sharing toothbrushes to the proper time to change a toothbrush. Each participant was given toothbrushes donated by the Thoughtful Path: Munsieville.
