Public Health Intern Hello! I am genuinely grateful to be part of this incredible team at Assuaged. My name is Erik Anderson, and I'm pursuing my bachelor's degree in Public Health at Brigham Young University online in Idaho. I have a strong background in automotive technology. I developed a great interest in public health after learning how to reverse many of my own declining health conditions. I got closer to understanding the public health world during COVID. Apart from studying, I enjoy working on cars and farm equipment. I'm an avid ballroom dancer, and I also enjoy being active in church in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was very active in Toastmasters International until my work and university studies didn't allow enough time for that anymore. ## Recent POSTS [![human-trafficking-a-public-health-and-criminal-justice-perspective](https://www.assuaged.com/hubfs/.pixelcompress/02%20-%20Blog%20Images%20From%20Canva/human-trafficking-a-public-health-and-criminal-justice-perspective%201.jpg)](https://www.assuaged.com/news/trafficking-a-public-health-and-criminal-justice-perspective) [Public Health](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/public-health) [criminal justice](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/criminal-justice) [trafficking](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/trafficking) ### [Human Trafficking - A Public Health and Criminal Justice Perspective The Hidden Face of Human Trafficking](https://www.assuaged.com/news/trafficking-a-public-health-and-criminal-justice-perspective) [![epidemiological-trends-and-risk-factors-associated-with-the-global-resurgence-of-sexually-transmitted-infections](https://www.assuaged.com/hubfs/0001-2481947437217744513.jpg)](https://www.assuaged.com/news/epidemiological-trends-and-risk-factors-associated-with-the-global-resurgence-of-sexually-transmitted-infections) [Sexually Transmitted Diseases](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/sexually-transmitted-diseases) [Reproductive Health](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/reproductive-health) [Healthcare Access](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/healthcare-access) ### [Epidemiological Trends and Risk Factors Associated with the Global Resurgence of Sexually Transmitted Infections Every minute, more than one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired around the world, yet conversations about sexual health often...](https://www.assuaged.com/news/epidemiological-trends-and-risk-factors-associated-with-the-global-resurgence-of-sexually-transmitted-infections) [![the-essential-guide-to-thyroid-health-for-every-women](https://www.assuaged.com/hubfs/1-Apr-20-2025-02-23-34-0627-AM.png)](https://www.assuaged.com/news/the-essential-guide-to-thyroid-health-for-every-women) [Nutrition](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/nutrition) [Women's Health](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/womens-health) [Thyroid health](https://www.assuaged.com/news/tag/thyroid-health) ### [The Essential Guide to Thyroid Health for Every Women Does Your Thyroid Have a Message for You?
