I'm Still Not Tired - Larkin Callaghan

Larkin Callaghan recently completed her doctorate in health behavior and public health education at Columbia, focusing on women's health and global health development. With research and program experience in HIV and sexual health, social network building, trauma and violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and how socioeconomic status and history of abuse contribute to health and social mobility, she specializes in women's and adolescent health, population health, communication and social marketing and the health of vulnerable populations - and how they relate to one another. She also works as a UN Correspondent for MediaGlobal, covering issues affecting the least developed countries, with a not-exclusive focus on global health. She posts about public health, sociology and social justice, human rights, research, and gender. She manages the Reproductive Health Daily Tumblr and is a fellow in Health Communication and Epidemiology at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, where she writes and uses social and new media to promote research that focuses on health disparities, access and rights. She’s an avid runner and a California loyalist, and also posts longer opinion pieces on I'm Not Tired Yet at https://larkincallaghan.wordpress.com/.

Multi-Person Sex Latest ‘Trend’ Among Teens?

A new study out of BU’s School of Public Health showed that in a sample of teen girls in the Boston metro-area seeking treatment in health clinics, 7.3% of them reported having engaged in “multi=person sex.” Unfortunately, that term isn’t entirely correct, since many of the girls reported that these acts were not always consensual - additionally, nearly half of them (45%) reported that condoms were not consistently used.

Read the entire article here - I’m interested to see how other studies in replicate these findings.

DSK and the Definition of Consent

I wasn’t initially going to write about the dismissal of the DSK case, because I knew it would be tackled by the media and frankly, I was pretty upset about the decision.

Another story from my hometown newspaper, The San Francisco Chronicle, is actually what prompted me to write about it - a story about consent and in many ways credibility, as well. See what I think over at I’m Not Tired Yet, and let me know your thoughts.
