Frank is such an awesome teacher I'd take his courses again if I could. He isn't exactly the quickest to respond to questions, and he was a bit slow on grading. Pretty good teacher overall.

NOTE: The views expressed in my posts here or via my twitter account @FVStrona are my own and do not represent views on behalf of the CDC, the city of San Francisco or the State of California.
After enjoying a career as an innovator and agent of change in public health and business, the last 15 years of which focused heavily on employing technology to increase access to education, information, communication, and programming. I continue to seek out emerging opportunities that reframe and enrich my experience. Expanding into the private sector while leveraging my expertise in the areas of social media and marketing, management, content development, curricula design and training, program coordination, and strategic leadership to contribute to a forward-thinking, innovative organization. As a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) candidate in the area of Creative Inquiry and Transformative Studies, I bring a solid background in integrated philosophies and professional management methodologies, including the study of a vast array of organizational models. What’s more, I have practical, hands-on experience designing and delivering educational and training content that appropriately meet the needs of adult learners as well as creating, adapting, and disseminating content to multiple stakeholders.
I have been lucky enough to be able to blend my passions in technology, leadership, strategic thinking social media and training with my efforts in distance, eLearning and online training/education adapting interactive and skill-based pedagogy.

The Use of Technology for STD Partner Services in the United States: A Structured Review
Sex Transm Dis. 2018
Abstract BACKGROUND: Since the late 1990s, health departments and sexually transmitted disease (STD) programs throughout the United States have used technologies, such as the Internet and mobile phones, to provide services to persons with a sexually transmitted infection, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and their sex partners, also known as partner services. This study reviewed the published literature to assess and compare partner services outcomes as a result of using technology and to calculate cost savings through cases averted.

Leveraging Technology for Partner Services: DIS Now Have Access to an IPS Toolkit

The use of technology in Partner Services isn’t actually as new as many of us think. Technology in some form or another has been used as a way to find hard to reach at-risk communities since the early days of AOL, Gay.com, and the table top computer. In fact, informal and community based HIV and STD health educators were some of the first to take to the internet almost 20 years ago, using it as a tool to reduce HIV and STD increases.

Attitudes About the Use of Geosocial Networking Applications for HIV/STD Partner Notification: A Qualitative Study.
AIDS Education and Prevention : Official Publication of the International Society for AIDS Education [31(3):273-285]
Abstract Meeting sex partners through geosocial networking (GSN) apps is common among men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM may choose not to exchange contact information with partners met through GSN apps, limiting their own and health departments' ability to notify partners of HIV/STD exposure through standard notification methods. Using online focus groups (four groups; N = 28), we explored the perspectives of U.S. MSM regarding offer of partner notification features through GSN apps. Most participants were comfortable with HIV/STD partner notification delivered via GSN apps, either by partner services staff using a health department profile or through an in-app anonymous messaging system. While most participants expressed a responsibility to notify partners on their own, app-based partner notification methods may be preferred for casual or hard-to-reach partners. However, participants indicated that health departments will need to build trust with MSM app users to ensure acceptable and effective app-based delivery of partner notification.
