Abstract
The study was student run and multiple students were involved. Students were involved in all aspect of this study, which included design, participant recruitment, data collection, database management, implementing the study protocol, data analysis, and we are working on disseminating the findings. Students had opportunities to lead and mentor other students. One graduate student and 2 undergraduate students served as supervisors for the study. Training went top down. Supervisors met with me and then they trained and ran the study. I oversaw all training and meet with all students from the study frequently. In addition to experience in research and training in data collection and database management, students were able to present findings and participate in publishing manuscripts. Students got valuable hands on experience working with participants. In addition, these experiences helped to make these students better health professionals as they gained better understanding of the research process, as well as demonstrating the importance of behavior in preventing disease.
