Center for Population Health Research

Intervention Support Core

The Center for Population Health Research (CPHR) investigators are engaged in epidemiological and modeling research to better understand patterns and rural factors associated with health risk across the lifespan. In a complementary fashion, developing solutions for these rural health risks will require a richer understanding of potential intervention pathways and strategies. Population health interventions that function in rural settings will be a key feature of the research trajectory of CPHR investigators, but such endeavors will require a mixed methods approach that extends beyond evaluation of existing data. To meet these needs, the IS Core has been designed with the overall objective of providing CPHR researchers and other researchers with support to inform thoughtful and testable intervention strategies.  The IS Core has provided a central home for connecting UM researchers with community engagement and primary data collection expertise and support. Intervention support includes study dashboard services, participant recruitment guidance, design and administration of primary quantitative and qualitative data, and health economic analysis of proposed intervention strategies. The IS Core also houses the mobile clinical research laboratory that can be utilized by UM researchers in the field. Recent examples of these services are shown here.
