Three Kansas City, Kan., students are among several who will present their research projects Feb. 11-12 in Topeka during Kansas Undergraduate Research Day and the Capitol Graduate Research Summit.
The events are intended to raise awareness of the research conducted by undergraduate and graduate students at state universities and to highlight the importance of students’ research at these institutions.
“Our students are doing research that should be widely recognized for its important benefits — both now and in the future — for Kansas, the United States and the world,” said Michael Roberts, KU dean of graduate studies. “KU and KU Medical Center students are the next generation of scholars, and their work will continue to enhance our understanding of, and improve, our world.”
Among the projects to be presented are three from Kansas City, Kan., students at the University of Kansas Medical Center:
Marvin Miller and Stacie Yang, seniors majoring in health information management, Kansas City, Kan.; “Predictors of Smoking Rate of Rural Populations, Education Index, and Median Earnings.”
Kelsea O’Neal, senior majoring in nursing, Kansas City, Kan.; “Pediatric Pain Management in U.S. Hospitals: Assessment Tools, Intervention Use, and Reassessment Rates.”
