Child, Adolescent Health Lab Expands A&M's Reach
Health issues of youngsters are the
focus of the Child and Adolescent Health Research Lab (CAHRL), a new research
arm of the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Texas
A&M.
The lab will generate and disseminate new knowledge contributing to the promotion and improvement of health status, well-being and quality of life of children and adolescents. The research will focus on determinants of child and adolescent health status and health behaviors, both health promoting and health risking, using a socio-ecological model.
The lab was created to support the research of founder E. Lisako McKyer, assistant professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Texas A&M, and up to five graduate students.
