Seventeen SPPH students presented research posters \u2014 sharing their work with faculty, students and the university community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The projects ranged from research on wildland firefighter brain health to sustainable public health programming in Hispanic communities and examining risk and protective factors in loneliness and cervical cancer knowledge and prevention among Tamang women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-projects\">Student Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about some of these student projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Oluwakemi Mary Bolarinwa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Housing and Transportation as Determinants of WIC Program Utilization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty Mentor<\/strong>: Dr. Ellen Schafer and Dr. Mac McCullough<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was interested in examining the barriers to WIC participation, specifically focusing on how housing instability and transportation access impact the program\u2019s utilization. This research is important for improving accessibility to public health services, especially among vulnerable populations.\u201d &#8211; Oluwakemi Mary Bolarinwa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Jasmine Ducusin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Bridging the Knowledge Gap: Racial Disparities in WIC Awareness and Participation in Southwest Idaho<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty Mentor<\/strong>: Dr. Ellen Schafer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith a professional background in public health nutrition in the Philippines, I was excited when I was first assigned to this project because it perfectly aligned with my interests and existing skill set. As my research progressed, I realized how much more there was for me to learn \u2014 not just about public health programs in the US and research methods \u2014 but also about the broader context of health equity.\u201d &#8211; Jasmine Ducusin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Alex Honn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Wildland Firefighter Brain Health, a Scoping Review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe field of wildland fire is generally understudied, both in management and health outcomes, yet there is an urgent need to protect and improve health outcomes of the men and women on the frontlines as fire activity increases (in frequency, intensity, and duration) worldwide. Better understanding of exposures can help inform interventions to improve acute, subacute, and long-term health outcomes, which may help recruit and retain more people to the fire service in a time of need.\u201d &#8211; Alex Honn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Jennifer Nguyen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Understanding the Needs of Family Caregivers in Idaho: Insights from a Statewide Survey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty Mentor<\/strong>: Dr. Ellen Schafer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I learned about the unique challenges family caregivers face \u2014 especially the emotional, financial, and physical toll it can take \u2014 I wanted to be part of a project that could lead to systemic change.

I&#8217;ve been looking at having evidence-based solutions that we know are addressing an issue in a community instead of solutions based on assumptions.&#8221; &#8211; Rayne Robinson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Adri\u00e1n-Miguel Rodr\u00edguez<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Bridging the Gap: A Public Health Framework for Sustainable Hispanic Engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAddressing minority disparities has always interested me. Representing more than 13% of Idaho&#8217;s population, Hispanics are the largest minority group in our state. Outreach and community engagement to this minority group have been the focus of my research during my academic career.

The result of that interest is this pesticides project that focuses on occupational risks for women farmworkers.\u201d &#8211; Meredith Spivak<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Archer Ward<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project Title<\/strong>: Adolescent Developmental Domains: Examining Risk and Protective Factors in Loneliness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty Mentor<\/strong>: Dr. Megan Smith, Dr. Anne Abbott, Dr. Taylor Neher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdolescent mental health is such a current topic due to the impacts it&#8217;s having on young people today.
