Three Essays on Health Inequality: Probing Entanglements of Health Inequality as Strengthening Coloniality and the Developmental Piloting of a Novel Psychological Intervention and Iterative Artificial Intelligence Model

Harding, Forrest

This dissertation encompasses three papers exploring health inequality. Paper one explores theoretical and methodological literature on health inequality. Paper two utilizes scholarly scaffolding considered in paper one to present an empirically supported novel health education program curriculum as sutured to a novel psychotherapeutic approach. Paper three discusses the theoretical, technical, scholarly and feasibility dimensions of integrating the novel health education curriculum into an artificial intelligence (AI) natural language machine learning language model and (NLML) mobile health application.
