2019-2020 TIPH Student Ambassadors
ASPPH Member Student Spotlight
Students at ASPPH member institutions are already impacting public health.
2 in 3 pregnancy-related deaths are preventable if caught early. New mothers are adapting to so many changes happening at once. They have their baby's health as their top priority, and sometimes their health is pushed to the bottom of the list. We can help.
We can all be an advocate for mothers, whether it's your neighbor, coworker, family member, or a friend.
We can all advocate for mothers by:
- Listening to her concerns and encouraging her to seek medical help (even if she feels like it's probably nothing).
- Attending appointments, asking questions, and taking notes.
- Supporting her through follow up care.
Complications that lead to pregnancy-related deaths can happen up to a year after birth.
We can all
Listen.
Encourage.
Support.
Save a Life.

Hi everyone! My name is Brittney Peterkin, I am a recent MPH graduate from the University of Miami. I am currently working as a Clinical Research Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center on phase 1 cancer trials.
While pursuing my MPH, I became educated on maternal and child health issues, and I want to use my platform to inform others and advocate for black women and their children. This week is Black Maternal Health Week, and I will be presenting BMH issues and advocacy education.
I am excited to host the ambassador take over this week and to share a topic that I am very passionate about. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all. 😃

"I was really interested in this idea of how we define fitness; how we define athletes; who gets to be called an athlete and who doesn't, and what that does to our participation in physical activity when we don't view ourselves as an athlete or someone who is is physically active."
This curiosity helped put into motion the ideas that led to @smartfitgirlsinc. In this National Public Health Week Conversation, TIPH Ambassador, Jen Roux, talks with Chrissy Chard, PhD from the Colorado School of Public Health and co-founder of Smart Fit Girls. Learn more about her story and the mission of Smart Fit Girls, as well as how the work intersects with public health in today's interview: youtu.be/drLMGvbTGUI
