    Culture, healthcare, and mortality meet

    Adolescent Voice: The Intersection of Technology and Participatory Health Research

    I got my first mobile phone when I was 18 years old.

    Parenting: Old questions, new fears?

    “It’s 10 O’clock – do you know where your children are?” This question was widely posed to parents in public service announcements broadcast on the radio and TV and posted on billboards in the US from the 1960s to the 1990s.

    Culture Is Destiny?

    “… I’m afraid there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Africa will make it. I know because I served in Nigeria. It’s their culture, you know [emphasis added].
