Qualitative findings are supplemented with available statistical data such as coroner’s reports and crime laboratory data. Mass media sources such as local newspapers are also monitored for information related to substance abuse trends. Once integrated, these valuable sources provide the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) with a real-time method of providing accurate epidemiological descriptions that policy makers need to plan appropriate prevention and intervention strategies.

As a Research Assistant in Hughes' Lab, I worked on a study called "Investigating the Management of Patient and Caregiver Treatment in COPD (IMPACT COPD)". I assisted in recruiting the subjects, giving basic cognitive tests and filling out questionnaires to test their understanding of COPD. I also did a large majority of the data entry. This was done in conjunction with my Cardiopulmonary Care Management Internship through Summa Health.
