Sexual health disparities among young people are a public health crisis — and silence is making it worse. In this episode of the Meharry Research Connect Podcast, host Keith D. Terry sits down with Dr. Chioma Kas Osoka of Meharry Medical College to tackle one of the most underaddressed topics in community health: the sexual health of adolescents and why disparities persist across racial and socioeconomic lines. Dr. Kas Osoka brings her research to the table with clarity and compassion, helping parents, educators and community leaders understand what young people actually need and how communities can step up to fill the gaps. This is the conversation that needs to happen in every household, school, and church in America.
