Journal Publications
The SEOW members and collaborators submit articles to peer-reviewed journals for publication when they find opportunities to share novel behavioral health findings with the broader medical and public health communities globally or across the country. Rhode Island-specific behavioral health data, such as the Rhode Island Student Survey (RISS) and the Rhode Island Young Adult Survey (RIYAS) have been used to disseminate these findings for practitioners, providers, community-based organizations, and researchers. Examples can be found below.
