This past summer, six Masters of Public Health students participated in the project "Examining the Relationship Between Lifestyle, Mental Health, and Economic Factors and Type 2 Diabetes in Barbados and Jamaica: A Mixed-Methods Study on the Determinants of Disease Management and Prevention”. This project was facilitated by the Vatanparast Nutritional Epidemiology Lab and funded through the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Scholarship. This past October, Jaclyn Edwards, one of those six students, won second prize at the PAW (People Around the World) International Congress Poster Competition for her poster "Investigating the Impact of Socioeconomic Factors and Type 2 Diabetes in Barbados: A Mixed-Methods Study on Management and Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes".
