Access can get someone to the door, but trust determines whether they walk through it. On the newest episode of Discovery Dialogues, nursing science PhD candidate Stacey Carter breaks down her research on HPV vaccine hesitancy and health communication, and shares how she turned it into something tangible: a cancer-prevention toolkit built with the American Cancer Society for Girl Scout troops. Tune in for her take on mentorship, community-based research, and why you don't need to feel ready to be capable. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!
