The University
of Massachusetts-Dartmouth worked with Partners
for a Healthier Community to conduct a research study during the
first several months of 2012 to determine what resources families would
like from their community and school to help them live healthy lives. UMass-Dartmouth
School of
Nursing Professors Maria Vazquez and Lori Keough met with parents and other child caregivers to
talk about what they
need to help them live healthy lives. The sessions were conducted in
English, Portuguese and Spanish. Their findings were presented at the 3rd
Annual Clinical
and Translational Science Retreat held on May 22, 2012 in Shrewsbury,
MA at the Hoagland-Pinkus
Conference Center of UMass
Medical School. The results
of the study will help to better
understand how parents think about their children's health. Click
