« How to Prevent Diabetes Using a Social Change Community Model - Gabrielle Lamourelle »

In Chapter 14 of 21 in her 2010 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, global health consultant Gabrielle Lamourelle shares lessons learned working on a diabetes prevention global health project. Lamourelle blends behavior change communication and social science research to design a health program that engages the target population - in this case at-risk women in rural South India - at both the individual and community level. The result enables at-risk candidates to take charge of their own health but also to impact the health of those in the broader community. Lamourelle graduated with a BS in Sociology from University of California at Berkeley and a Masters in Public Health (MPH) in Sociomedical Sciences from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.
