Research from around the world has revealed a complex nexus of factors that contribute to child marriage, including normative values regarding the status, value, and rights of women and girls. To that end, development and public health interventions to address child marriage have increasingly focused on the role of social norms, emphasising community engagement as well as social and behaviour change (SBC) strategies to shift these norms at the community level. In India, child marriage is encourage

Listen now. A new report from the SIU Medicine School of Population Science, the SIU Paul Simon Public Policy Institute and several other partners examines the ways the pandemic has impacted rural areas.
Sameer Vohra, founding chair of the population science department, said one of the major recurring themes was a lack of broadband access, which increases a sense of isolation when things move to virtual platforms. It also makes it more difficult for people to work, attend school, and use telehealth during a pandemic.
“That was a problem with both the speed of internet but also that some of our population, especially the aging, didn’t have the requisite skills to sort of use those different kind of learning tools to their maximal benefit,” Vohra said.
Collaborations that integrate diverse perspectives are critical to addressing many of our complex scientific and societal problems. Yet those engaged in cross-disciplinary team science often face institutional barriers and collaborative challenges.
Strategies for Team Science Success offers readers a comprehensive set of actionable strategies for reducing barriers and overcoming challenges and includes practical guidance for how to implement effective team science practices. More than 100 experts including scientists, administrators, and funders from a wide range of disciplines and professions explain evidence-based principles, highlight state-of the-art strategies, tools, and resources, and share first-person accounts of how they’ve applied them in their own successful team science initiatives. While many examples draw from cross-disciplinary team science initiatives in the health domain, the handbook is designed to be useful across all areas of science.
