Community organizations (e.g., schools, sports leagues) play a central role in the Creating Healthy People Lab.  Community organizations do this by participating in research projects and/or receiving information about a topic of interest through written reports or community-wide presentations delivered by Dr. Dodge.

Current projects in the Creating Healthy People Lab involve investigating adolescent athletes' attitudes and beliefs about performance enhancing substances.  To be eligible, participants must be on a school-sponsored sports team.  Participation involves completing a questionnaire. Each athlete who participates in the project receives a $15 giftcard.  In addition, the organization will receive a small stipend for helping to organize their teams' participation.

Organizations that would like to receive a presentation, or report, about any of the health topics studied in the Creating Healthy People Lab, should contact Dr. Dodge. Presentations can be tailored to the needs of your organization.
