Ejura Yetunde Salihu, PhD
Health Researcher | Teacher | Writer and Poet
I am a researcher and writer working at the intersection of health promotion, community-engaged scholarship and health equity. Using socio-behavioral theories, implementation science principles and a community-engaged research approach, I adapt, implement and disseminate interventions that improve health and wellness in vulnerable individuals and communities. I primarily use qualitative and mixed methods in my work.I am also a teacher with over five years experience teaching across different academic levels (undergrad, PharmD, graduate) and departments (Nutrition & Dietetics, Sociology, Pharmacy).Alongside my academic work, I write contemporary confessional poetry and reflective essays that explore identity, heritage and meaning-making.
