Closer to home in East Baltimore--and through the efforts of Hopkins community and public health nursing assistant professor Betty Jordan--the innovative program Text-4-Baby provides pre- and post-natal information via cell phones to new and expectant mothers. The program, and her work in building sponsoring coalitions of private and public funders and city and academic advocates, will now be replicated in Bangladesh. More on mHealth

In China and South Africa, Hopkins nursing doctoral student Carrie Tudor and nursing faculty member Jason Farley are working to bring best practices of infectious disease management to hospitals and to healthcare workers. More on disease management
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
The last decade in the Democratic Republic of Congo has seen the use of rape as a weapon of war, where rebels and soldiers subject women and girls to brutalizing attacks, rape, torture, and mutilation. Survivors of rape are often further traumatized by infections, disease, poverty, stigma and social isolation. In response, associate professor Nancy Glass created "Pigs for Peace," a microfinance intervention to improve health of rape survivors in the DRC that supplies individuals with pigs to raise and sell to improve their living situation. The study objective is to test the effectiveness of an innovative, village-led microfinance program on SGBV survivor's health, household economic stability, and reintegration to family and village.
Haiti
Relief efforts in Haiti, both short- and long-term, have relied heavily on nursing expertise to deliver front-line care and to begin the rebuilding of nursing capacity. Beth Sloand, another nursing faculty member, was on the ground delivering medical care immediately following the earthquake and has returned numerous times with Hopkins nursing students.
