Title: Effectiveness of a Multidisciplinary Osteoporosis Education Event
Developed under the guidance of Prof. Laura Gerstner, Public Health/Physician Assistant

Osteoporosis is an under-recognized public health threat, which is both treatable and preventable. Previous research demonstrates that the general population lacks knowledge of osteoporosis. This study utilized pre- and post-intervention tests to demonstrate that a student-led osteoporosis education event is an effective way to increase participants’ knowledge of osteoporosis.
