Ik it varies region by region, yadda dadada.. but I’m thinking about doing a research project on the healthcare experience in south Nigeria. I was wondering if anyone here wanted to share their experience. Not to be used for the research, but just to help me gain some perspective on what kind of research might be useful for the community.

Right now I’ve been thinking about barriers/access to care, management that adopts to low resources/income, etc. any perspective would be great:)

I started grad school and gained 10lbs easy after loosing 20lbs. I’m gonna commit to dropping these 10lbs in the next month. I have to prove to myself that I can get this addiction under control. I don’t want to be controlled by this.

What started this: for the last few days, I would go to qt and order a pretzel, mozzarella sticks, and get candy. Everyday for what feels like a week. And I would hate myself before during and after. But no more. If anyone wants an accountability buddy, feel free to reach out. I’m going back on my diet, and I’m cutting out all junk food cold turkey. I will not let this get the better of me.

Wish me luck

I have few resources at my small school, so if anyone has any advice on if they’ve don’t this before that would be great.

I was told if it was a case study, I just need consent forms and don’t need IRB approval. Does this sound correct to yall?

Also if I did want to do a public health study, can anyone tell me their experience on getting IRB approval to collect data in an African country. Thanks all!

I really want to get a tattoo on my forearm because I’ve never keloid there. I have keloids on my face, chest, and back.

I’m just scared this will cause me to keloid. However, A LONG TIME AGO, after my other keloid developed, I used to self harm on my arm. It was pretty superficial, and the scares eventually fade, but I never got a keloid. Do you think I’ll be safe to get a tattoo?

I lost a bunch of weight, but then I started school and binge eat like crazy.

And what’s wild is I love the gym. But working out can’t overcome a bad diet. So how do yall do it😓 I really gotta find a way to eat less.
