In this podcast Dr. Mendenhall discusses the concept of syndemics, referring to the clustering of social and health problems, with examples from her global research that explores diabetes, HIV, violence, depression and trauma. She describes the way that stigma can be linked with multiple health conditions, how stigma differs by gender and between global contexts, and the many ways we can work together to create social change.
