Summary

Dr. LeMaster works with a local community advisory board comprised of low-income residents. We are planning to submit a grant proposing a social marketing program to promote improved diet/activity for school age children in the area. The student would take part in qualitative interview data collection and formal analysis. Adam Fitzgerald (M4 2008) this last year conducted a similar project in a middle-income neighborhood and was awarded 2nd place on Research Day for clinical research.
