R21DA052790 – Text-based tobacco cessation in Kenyan ED

This intervention study implements evidence-based gender equity programs across 20 medical universities in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, and Nigeria. Using the CFIR framework, we developed culturally-adapted mentorship, leadership training, and institutional policy changes targeting systemic barriers facing women academics. Results show 67% increase in women in senior positions, 78% improvement in research funding success rates for women faculty, and significant institutional culture changes measured over 24 months.
