Research Projects

  • Conducting a health assessment of the Wausau Hmong community in collaboration with UW-Madison School of Medicine, Aspirus Healthcare, Hmong American Center and the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin. This pilot project will provide baseline data to conduct a larger survey and begin addressing health priorities identified by community members.
  • Assessing the impact of a Fruit & Vegetable Prescription program piloted by graduate student Ashley Chrisinger in collaboration with Central Rivers Farmshed and Aspirus Healthcare in Portage and Marathon counties in summer 2015. The results will inform the next iteration of the program which is planned to expand to include Wood county and add programming to more intensively impact skills and self-efficacy for preparing fresh produce at home.
  • Currently drafting manuscript related to the work of undergraduate dietetics students Matt Breit, Cody Hanick, and Jake Richmond entitled Effects of post-workout nutritional intervention during resistance training. Follow-up study in being planned.
