There is an urgent and dire need to address public health issues that affect transition-aged individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), especially while these individuals are living in dorm settings and/or away from their primary caregiver(s) for the first time. The proposed Capstone student research project will address this vital issue through the development of a Healthy Adults Education module to be integrated into programming for HEELS UP, an inclusive post-secondary education program.

I am looking at how climate and conflict both affect food security in Ethiopia - and to what extent.

The goal of this project is to bring together experts in family medicine and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to create a standardized POCUS curriculum that can be taught in medical school. The experts will help us figure out which parts of a POCUS curriculum are important, practical, and useful. We'll use information from this Delphi study to guide our decisions.

This study explores the growing culture of migration in remote, rural communities in Nepal. Based on the Aspirations and Capabilities framework (de Haas, 2021), we examine how gender, age, and household dynamics influence people's perception of their local community, their goals or dreams, and, subsequently, their migration aspirations and abilities. We will interview multiple members from ten households across two districts of Western Nepal to understand what migration represents to them, how they conceptualize the future based on perceptions of 'here' and 'there', and how gender, age, caste, and class influence the way they understand choice and freedom to migrate or to stay.
