As a health communication scientist and scholarly activist, Dr. Devlon N. Jackson examines how digital health can improve the health of vulnerable populations. Within this work, she applies a health equity lens to identify communication inequalities that influence access and use. She also understands how mental health impacts physical wellness, and values the need for a more comprehensive health approach when communicating health information, especially if our nation hopes to eliminate health disparities and achieve health equity. As a result, Dr. Jackson was awarded an NIH-National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Investigator Diversity Research Supplement grant to explore how health information technology (HIT) can improve health for African Americans and Hispanics living with mental health issues and chronic diseases. In addition to this project, her research is also supported by other NIH-funded awards where she and her colleagues are addressing other important digital health issues such as co-designing culturally-tailored apps with Black and Hispanic communities to support their health information seeking and decision-making. Dr. Jackson currently serves as an Assistant Research Professor in the School of Public Health’s Department of Behavioral and Community Health at the University of Maryland. She is also a faculty affiliate with the Maryland Center for Health Equity and the Horowitz Center for Health Literacy. For more information visit http://go2mc.me/athenaeum-series-y

Student-parents are a highly invisible population due to colleges not systematically identifying and collecting data on this student population. Although they tend to have high dropout rates, they are highly incentivized to pursue postsecondary education and have higher GPAs than non-parenting students. In recent years, MC has begun focusing on student-parents for several reasons. First, it's an equity issue. Second, student-parents overlap with other vulnerable populations such as first gen. Third, student-parents impact college enrollment and retention. Through the Ascend Parent Initiative, Montgomery College is working closely with organizations like Generation Hope and Ascend at the Aspen Institute to identify our student-parents at MC and collect data on these students so that we can learn more about how to best support and improve outcomes for our parenting students. This program is another example that shows how committed MC is to learning about the experience of student-parents and how MC can continue to make a difference in their lives. In this episode of the Student-Parent Experience at MC, Dr. Jermaine F. Williams sat with four parenting students to hear their stories and experiences. Ja'Bette Lozupone, director of Student Affairs, moderated the conversation. To learn more about the work that the College is doing go to montgomerycollege.edu/student-parents
