NEW SURVEY LAB LAUNCHED! The Center for Health Promotion Research has recently launched a full-service Survey Development Lab (SDL) created to facilitate survey design, measurement and data collection for social, behavioral and population research, specializing in prevention and health promotion research. The SDL is designed to serve both the academic faculty as well as the community partners to facilitate the conduct of prevention research and is available as a resource to all faculty and trainees at affiliated institutions. For more info, click here.
One of the first projects using the SDL was led by Jill Kilanowski, pediatric nurse practitioner and assistant professor at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, who used the lab in her data collection on the eating habits and lifestyle issues of migrant farmworking families. Click here to read more about Kilanowski's study which uses small hand-held computers or personal assistant devices (PDAs) programmed in cooperation with the Center, a technology that allows for both audio-assisted data collection via headphones used with the PDAs as well as more private collection of sensitive information.
