Tilly Gurman, Dr. P.H. Professor Gurman brings more than 15 years experience in international and domestic public health settings to SPHHS. A Venezuelan native, she has a strong professional interest in Latin America and the Latin American diaspora. Among her areas of expertise are health communications, program evaluation, global health, adolescent health, reproductive health, cultural competency, and provider-patient communications. Passionate about the ability of research to inform public health practice, Professor Gurman is dedicated to using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to support rigorous, yet practical, evaluation. For example, she partnered with Baltimore HealthCare Access to improve access to care for Spanish-speaking pregnant women, using health care provider surveys as the basis for creating professional development trainings.. Likewise, she used qualitative findings from patient interviews and focus group discussions to develop a video—fashioned after the Spanish-language soap operas called telenovelas- about navigating the health care system. More recently, she helped an indigenous women's reproductive health organization in Guatemala evaluate its adolescent pregnancy prevention program. |
