Research

In order to provide research experiences for our students, the Coordinated Program is collaborating with the Integrative Cardiac Health Project at Walter Reed to study health behaviors of college students related to nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and smoking. To do this we will collect information on various parameters including body composition. Our program recently purchased a Bod Pod for this purpose. We hope to improve health behaviors by evaluating lifestyle choices and providing individualized interventions using technology with a three-phase investigation.
