JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Mothers with teenage daughters in Northeast Tennessee are invited to take part in a project that East Tennessee State University researchers are helping to lead in an effort to improve communication about teen health.
“Health Chat” is a private Facebook community that provides expert-reviewed health information and tools for improving how mothers and daughters talk about health. It also shares other valuable resources about physical activity, nutrition, bullying, cancer prevention, vac-cinations, mental health, tobacco, drug use and more.
“We plan to be recruiting in the East Tennessee portion through this year,” said Amanda Peterson, project coordinator for Health Chat.
Plans are to include as many as 2,000 in the study.
To join the group, a person must be a Tennessee resident with a daugh-ter between the ages of 14 and 17. Participants also must have or be willing to create a Facebook account. As part of the study, group mem-bers and their daughters will be asked to complete a brief survey three different times and will be compensated for their time. For the full article click here
