FLASH Research Group Seeks Members

Attention all researchers!
 

Cal Poly FLASH data is now available for analysis. FLASH (Following the Longitudinal Aspects of Student Health) was a Cal Poly-based prospective cohort study for which students and faculty members recruited incoming freshmen in fall 2009 and 2010 and collected data until spring 2012. The survey results include socio-demographic, dietary, physical activity, stress, media use and other data. Physical assessments, glucose and cholesterol panels, vitamin D measurements, and resting energy expenditure assessments were also conducted among different sub-samples.

The FLASH research group is now meeting on a regular basis, uniting the scientific interests of Cal Poly faculty from across campus. Our goal is to collaboratively publish manuscripts using FLASH data in all areas of faculty interest. The FLASH study has already generated more than a dozen national and international conference presentations, and we are planning to develop multiple manuscripts in several thematic areas.

Cal Poly faculty members are invited to be FLASH investigators. Please email Aydin Nazmi for more information.
