Including Indigenous Voices in Prevention Research Women Leading Prevention Science

In this episode of Women Leading Prevention Science, Sara Hairgrove talks with Hannah LaBounty from the Cherokee Nation, and Bethany Jolly-Livingston from Emory University about how they found their way to their current roles in prevention science and their experiences partnering with and serving indigenous populations.  They talk about the personal and professional lessons they learned while working with indigenous populations, including  the value of pure relationships and fighting against imposter syndrome, and they offer advice to young women interested in pursuing prevention science. Bethany suggests young women explore different fields of science to understand what opportunities are available, and Hannah wants indigenous women to know their perspectives and voices are needed in prevention research.
