Episode 6.4: Helen Brown, Erich Seamon — Tracking Idaho’s Health Trends

Meet Helen Brown (http://bit.ly/3LVBSx7 ), a clinical associate professor in the Department of Movement Sciences (http://bit.ly/3TRb6YS) at University of Idaho, and Erich Seamon (http://bit.ly/3FQOt0z), a research scientist in the Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation (http://bit.ly/3JPAg5n). They’ve teamed up to track and publish data about health trends in Idaho. Before their project, this information was only available at a public health district level spanning several counties. But modeling work by these researchers is allowing Idahoans dig deeper into the health of their communities, by providing that data on a county-by-county basis. It turns out, when you zoom in, the story becomes much more nuanced. Visit our website go.uidaho.edu/thevandaltheory​. Email us at [email protected].
