John Prochaska, M.P.H, and Monica Wendel, M.P.H., the first two Dr.PH. students at SRPH recently defended their dissertations. John’s topic was “The Association of Perceived Physical Environment with Meeting Physical Activity Recommendations across Rural-Urban Settings in Central Texas.” Monica’s topic was “Social Capital and Health: Individual Measures, Community Influences, and Persistent Questions.”
Both of these students used the Center for Community Health Development Brazos Valley Community Health Assessment Survey to examine how social context affects health status. Special attention was given to the role of rurality.
