Dr. Patricia Haynes’ ADAPT study in the College of Public Health

Independent Study Opportunity in Public Health, Psychology, or Physiology!!

The Assessing Daily Activity Patterns through occupational Transitions (APAPT) study is looking for students this Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in health and wellness research.

The ADAPT study is examining how job loss affects peoples’ daily routines, sleep patterns, activities, and eating habits. Findings from this study will help us to understand the relationships between stress, sleep, and obesity and to develop new related prevention programs. Dr. Patricia Haynes, a licensed clinical psychologist, is the principal investigator. The study is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

If you are interested in learning more about the opportunity to join the ADAPT team, please contact April Brookshier at
