HEZ Graduate Students

HEZ graduate assistants assist with a community-based study examining the environmental impact on health for people with disabilities. They also assist in recruiting participants with mobility impairments within a designated ‘Health Empowerment Zone’ that includes the UIC and Pilsen area, conducting phone survey sessions, assessing the outdoor environment and transportation elements, and other day-to-day tasks.
