GW F.R.E.S.H Study

February 2, 2022Openings and Opportunities

Hey first years,

Jennifer Cook, a UHP student, is apart of a research project in GW’s Milken Institute School of Public Health. They are seeking GW freshmen students to participate in the FRESH Study, which stands for fitness, rest, and energy for strength and health, through the Milken Institute School of Public Health. The study will establish a longitudinal cohort study of undergraduate students across the college years to better assess health behavior changes and related health outcomes. By doing this study, they hope to learn more about the health behaviors of college students, how they change over the course of their time at GW, and how this may impact longer term health outcomes. Student’s participation in this research will only take 20-30 minutes, with the hope that students will continue to participate once or twice per academic year. During that time, students will be asked to answer questions online regarding their health behaviors, including diet, physical activity, and sleep. Students can also opt in to participate in fitness testing in the near future that will further contribute to the study.

If this is something that you may be interested in, please fill out this google form. If you have any questions, feel free to email freshstudy@gwu.edu.
