Research Updates

Our lab has been hard at work over the past year, and I am excited to share updates on recent publications and presentations.

Publications

I’m pleased to share the following publication, co-authored with colleagues Dr. Antonio Gardner and Dr. Leah Pylate. It chronicles findings from research we did to inform MSU’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

Seitz, H. H., Gardner, A., & Pylate, L. (2023). Formative research to inform college health communication campaigns about COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Health Promotion and Practice. https://doi.org/10.1177/15248399231160768

Presentations

This year has included several presentations at national conferences (with more to come), and I am tremendously grateful for the colleagues and talented student co-authors who have contributed to this work:
