Tomorrow’s Tests: Forces Reshaping 21st Century Health Care Although the U.S. health care system is always in a state of flux, several forces are combining to produce truly significant change. Demographic shifts, changing public attitudes, challenges to traditional funding mechanisms, the increasing politicization of health policy, changes in the work force, more emphasis on the quality of care, and emerging technologies will make for a much more turbulent but also potentially more rewarding future for the health care industry, those who work within it, and its patients.

2007 Research Symposium Golda Meir Library Conference Room - 4th floor Featuring an enlightening and vital keynote address by Carol Haertlein Sells, Ph.D., OT, FAOTA on “College Drinking: Its Impact on Campus and Strategies for Reduction.”

Dr. Haertlein Sells’ research focuses on the reduction of alcohol use and its associated harm among college freshmen with the long term goal of assisting them to make better choices about alcohol use. The “harm reduction” approaches she examines combine informational content with cognitive behavioral skills training and motivational components. Wisconsin has the highest rate of alcohol use among young adults, but it is in the bottom 20% of states on perceived risk of high alcohol use. This context for the student body at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee makes this topic of critical importance for our campus. Dr. Haertlein Sells’ research findings will affect the lives of our students, the well-being of the campus and the surrounding community, and college students across the country.

CHS Research Presentations

Graduate and undergraduate students will present their current research projects to a panel of judges comprised of faculty, administrators, and community health care professionals. The projects are ranked based on criteria including research methodology, strength of study rationale, implications for the scientific and professional communities, and overall verbal and visual presentation.
