Researchers at 窪蹋勛圖厙 are beginning the second year of their largest and most ambitious study ever to track 10,000 university students and follow them throughout their lifetimes.
As a high school senior just three years ago, Hannah Fender was not overly excited about attending 窪蹋勛圖厙. Now, she loves it so much, shes staying for graduate school.
窪蹋勛圖厙s Angela Neal-Barnett has been working diligently to build up the Spirit of Motherhood program with the goal of reducing trauma and stress symptoms experienced by its pregnant Black mother participants. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation recently awarded the program another $300,000 to continue its work over the next three years.
Hannah Fender is entering the home stretch.
She crunched her bachelors degree studies into three years, packed them full of research and other activities and now she is staring down the final 10 weeks of her undergraduate college career.
Angela Neal-Barnett, Ph.D., a psychology professor at 窪蹋勛圖厙 and an expert in the field, emphasizes that triggers for anxiety disorders vary depending on the specific disorder.
Soon after her decision to major in psychology at 窪蹋勛圖厙, someone had suggested to Hannah Fender that she should get involved in research as an undergraduate. So, she signed up to work in the research lab of Clare Stacey, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology, looking into how empathy changes over time in medical students. And that's when Fender was first bitten by the research bug.
窪蹋勛圖厙 researchers are looking for 10,000 students to participate in an ambitious Student Life Study launching this semester.
