SAFE Intern Julia Chang Working on "Health in Your Hands"

This summer, SAFE partnered with a Stanford-based group of undergraduate and graduate students to conduct a feasability study for a new project called "Health in Your Hands," in which rural men and women would be able to access maternal health education by calling a toll free cell phone line that would contain pre-recorded short educational stories about subjects community members had identified as being important. In the photo below, SAFE intern Julia Chang (student from the Stanford group) is working with journalist Serena to record the first trial lessons, which will be tested this coming week with rural men's and women's groups. We are so proud of all that Julia has been able to accomplish, and look forward to exploring a pilot of this program later this fall or next spring!
