CENTER FOR ADOLESCENT HEALTH

STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES

Potential Capstones

With our vast network of adolescent programs in the Greater Cleveland community, the Center for Adolescent Health is able to provide assistance in linking students with exciting projects in the area. We also assist students with individual research or program ideas an opportunity to implement such ideas in appropriate agencies serving adolescents.

Additionally, there often are opportunities within the Center itself for capstone experiences. We are presently addressing the scope of GIS mapping along with our surveillance work. In this context, students could build on our information with their own areas of interest.

 

Local Adolescent Data

The Center collects a vast diversity of information about the health and behavior of local adolescents. Much of this data is available to students, either as background information that may be relavent to programmatic projects, or as raw data available to students for original research and analysis. In addition, the Center provides research mentoring and technical assistance to students interested in using adolescent data for capstone projects or publishing.

 

Volunteer Opportunities

In addition to capstone projects, technical assistance with data analysis, and student jobs, the Center often has volunteer opportunities which can give students valuable experience and a chance to interact with local adolescents.
