As part of her Masters of Science degree in Clinical Research Methods and Epidemiology requirements, Dr. Lara Dugas presented her Master's thesis entitled "Adiposity is not equal in a multi-racial/ethnic adolescent population: NHANES 1999-2004" to the Loyola Department of Preventive Medicine. Her mentor, Dr. Amy Luke, was there to support her!
During her thesis work, Dr. Dugas leanred the pros/cons of modeling with a fractured polynomial approach. We applaud her work and look forward to reading her published work.
