    Dr. Chuka Emezue is an Assistant Professor at the Women, Children, and Family Nursing Department at RUSH University College of Nursing. He earned a Ph.D. in Nursing, a Master of Public Health (MPH), and a Master of Public Affairs (MPA) from the University of Missouri-Columbia. His research program utilizes community-engaged approaches to develop, pilot test, and deploy technology-enhanced interventions that address co-occurring interpersonal violence, mental health co-morbidities, and substance use with at-risk populations in humanitarian, justice-involved, immigrant, Black, and Latinx/Hispanic contexts.

    Over the past five years, Emezue has developed and is pilot-testing two culturally congruent and technology-enhanced interventions. BrotherlyACT™ is a web- and mobile-compatible intervention for violence and early substance use prevention among young Black males using life skills coaching, safety planning tools, and an AI-facilitated chatbot. FatherlyACT is a trauma-informed father-son dyadic in-person and online program to improve the safety and well-being of mothers and children exposed to intimate partner violence by enhancing healthy father-child connections and lessening the devastating impact of partner violence on mothers and children.

    Emezue is a 2023 public voices fellow with The OpEd Project, RBIHE Health Equity Scholar, and Cohn Fellow. He is a past Contributor-In-Residence with the Synapsis Medical Humanities Journal, and his op-eds have appeared in The Messenger, Bored Panda, Ms. Magazine, and Clever-ish Magazine.
