URSH is a student group focused on bringing students of all backgrounds together to discuss the intersection of religion and public health.

Supervised by Ainsley Belisle, Christina Pham, Grace Seifu, and Anu Ramachandiran"Ensuring the well-being of women from the very early postpartum period is important for mother and child health. Research in the Dekel lab at Massachusetts General Hospital is focused on identifying the factors that are implicated in optimal adaptation as well as psychopathology of mothers following childbirth. To this end, we combine psychological, physiological and neuroimaging tools to prospectively study women from pregnancy across childbirth. Ultimately our goal is to develop novel tools for early detection of mothers at risk for postpartum mental disorders and preventive treatments that are effective and safe. Although childbirth is usually considered a uniformly happy event, some women may experience a traumatic childbirth. Some will go on to develop a postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition we know very little about. We study the psychological and biological mechanisms underlying the various mental health trajectories in the wake of a traumatic delivery and what allows some women to be resilient and even grow psychologically. We are also interested in learning the ways in which distress in the mother may influence child development."

Similar to an undergraduate think-tank, the program allows students to take the time to study an issue they are passionate about, explore potential policy solutions, and advocate for those outcomes. Every semester, the program receives individualized commissions from state and federal Senators, Representatives, NGOs, and private sector companies in various distinct areas. Over the course of the semester, groups meet weekly to discuss their research and develop policy recommendations based on their findings. At the end of the semester, each group presents to the official commissioner and submits a policy paper. Our research has been used in several State House bills, by nonprofits across the country, and for bills in the United States Congress. Students have assisted with policy research on a diverse range of topics, from safe voting practices to vaccine distribution. Recently, students researched the following additional topics: Clean distributed energy innovations, solutions to the methamphetamine epidemic, safe and accessible voting models, contemporary police reforms and private prisons, restorative justice models in K-12 schools, and CARES Act implementation. The Policy Program has collaborated with the Massachusetts State Senate Legislative Education Office, the United Nations, and various non-profit organizations to connect undergraduates with policymakers and activists seeking research assistance on current or future policy issues.
