Prairie View A&M University proudly participated in the 2025 National Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) Case Study Competition, which provides students with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world public health challenges in a competitive academic setting. This competition has been going on for several years; however, in 2024, Prairie View A&M University sent its first group of students to the competition. Mackenzee Deere, Amarys Diamond-Danae Royal, and the group were placed second in the overall competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, four groups of students from the School of Public and Allied Health represented the University after a rigorous two-week training process. The group consists of undergraduate students Shearyl Smith, Mackynzee Jolene Deere, Myles Lathan Edwards, Tylyn Mashara Holliness, Trenton Lee Castillo, Cydni Marica-Mattie Miller, Stacy Atwemaa Owusu, Kourtney C Mayes, Amarys Diamond-Danae Royal, and graduate students Asia Walker and Mikayla Rose Jones. <\/span>The public health students were engaged<\/span> in extensive case analysis, literature review, stakeholder analysis, and solution-based planning. <\/span>The students were mentored and trained by<\/span> Dr. Andrea McDonald and Ms. Shakirat Adetomiwa.<\/span> During the mock presentation sessions,<\/span> Dr. Kentya Ford and Catherine Kisavi-Atatah were present and provided support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2025 SOPHE Case Study Competition <\/span>took place<\/span> between April 14 and 18, 2025, in Long Beach, California, and on the Zoom virtual platform, where teams from across the nation presented their findings and proposed solutions to a panel of public health experts and practitioners. A total of 14 universities and 22 groups across the <\/span>nation<\/span> entered the competition. The case study focused on the growing chlamydia cases in Long Beach, requiring multi-level intervention strategies to reduce the prevalence.<\/span><\/p>\n

We <\/span>are proud to<\/span> announce that\u00a0<\/span>both student groups (graduate and undergraduate) from Prairie View A&M University placed first<\/span><\/strong> in the competition based on their categories. \u00a0<\/span>Not only did the students place first, but the graduate student also<\/span> received the program design award overall.<\/span> Here are the details:<\/span><\/p>\n
