Faculty and students presented an impressive variety of research at the third-annual Research Day on Nov. 12, an event that highlighted the first-rate research and scholarship being conducted at the BU School of Public Health.

Karen M. Bell, MD, chair of the national Certification Commission for Health Information Technology, delivered the keynote address on the challenges of using medical record data in research, such as interoperability, standardizing format, cloud security, and privacy protection. The poster competition was open to students, post-doctoral fellows, research staff and junior faculty, many of whom will also be presenting at the American Public Health Association annual meeting in New Orleans.

Awards were given for best poster in each of the trainee and junior faculty categories, judged by a panel of faculty from through the School. This year, judges felt the quality of the top students posters was high enough to warrant two awards in each of the student categories.

Monica Wang, an assistant professor of community health sciences, was honored for her poster on “Priorities of Municipal Policymakers in Relation to Physical Activity: A Latent Class Analysis.”

Elizabeth Ragan, an MPH student concentrating in global health, was recognized for her poster on “Project SEARCH: Ear biometrics’ potential for solving patient identification challenges in global field settings.” Chris Gill, an associate professor of global health, sponsored her poster.

Lindsey Butler, a master’s of science candidate in environmental health, won an award for her poster “Childhood and Adolescent Fish Consumption and Adult Neuropsychological Performance: An Analysis from the Cape Cod Health Study.” She was advised by Patricia Janulewicz, an assistant professor of environmental health.

Tami Gouveia, a DrPH student, presented “An Innovative Packaging and Pricing Regulation to Reduce Youth Cigar Use in Boston, Massachusetts: Neighborhood and Sociodemographic Differences in Cigar Availability and Pricing.” William DeJong, a professor of community health sciences, was the advisor for her project.

Julia Rohr, a PhD candidate studying epidemiology, was honored for her poster, “Delaying second line therapy after first line failure in South Africa: moderating effect of CD4 count.” She was advised by Matthew Fox, an associate professor of epidemiology.

The event was open to all students in good standing at BUSPH in any program (MPH, MS, PhD, DrPH), postdoctoral fellows, staff, and faculty up to three years of their first faculty appointment date. Student and research staff poster submissions required a BUSPH faculty partner on the abstract.
