Identify acceptable and feasible school-based interventions for adolescent obesity prevention among adolescent girls in an informal settlement in Kenya

Understanding how the lived experiences or residents may inform and improve public policy related to flooding.

The primary purpose of this research is to share insights gained from developing and teaching a new, multi-campus course. We ask: what are the unique contributions and challenges of developing a cross-campus, collaborative learning model for teaching planning and equity related topics? How and why did the zoning for equity collaborative learning model evolve over time? What are the lessons learned and takeaways from such a pedagogical innovation? We answer these questions by analyzing the following data: archived course materials and anonymous student evaluations, transcripts of the guided discussions among faculty who developed and offered the course, and transcripts of the interviews of former-students who took the class.

This study understand the different motivations, interests, and goals of students pursuing STEM majors. We want to compare the reasons for why they choose what they want to study. This information can help us understand why the attrition rate of students in physics majors is particularly high.

In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.

This study aims to explore how college students with food allergies use dining halls and how this affects their risk of allergic reactions. We will look at answers to questions about dining habits, emotional well-being, and personal experiences with food allergies. Additionally, we will assess how well existing safety measures and accommodations in college dining halls work to prevent allergic reactions. The study seeks to identify specific factors that may lead to allergic reactions, such as how often students eat in dining halls, the meal plans they choose, and their understanding of allergen information. The findings from this study will help improve food safety practices in college dining facilities. Ultimately, we hope to create better strategies to protect students with food allergies, enhance their dining experiences, and support their overall health and well-being on campus.

Most professionals working with JJ-involved youth have little understanding of how neuroscience and brain development can shape effective strategies for treatment. This gap in knowledge can lead to misconceptions about adolescent behavior, compromising the effectiveness of their approaches. There is also a gap in the connection between scientific research and practical application within the JJ system. This gap often results in the use of cookie-cutter programs that rarely address individual drivers of problem behavior. Enhancing the knowledge of JJ professionals about brain development promises to foster more informed and effective approaches to JJ-involved youth by equipping professionals with better understanding of root causes and drivers of problem behaviors and helping to determine more effective treatment plans. The program proposed here bridges this gap begins by developing a manual for JJ professionals about how brain science can be useful in addressing the needs of youth in the system.
