Health communication lab - Think about evidence! -

Person in Charge of the Project : Miki AkiyamaAt Miki Akiyama Lab, each of us researches on health topics we are interested in in order to achieve our goal, which is "to solve all kinds of health problems that surrounds us through health communication". When we think about "health issues", we cannot forget about "evidence". However, when we refer to this "evidence", there are actually many kinds, for example, research results, statistical data, etc. Another aspect to consider is its reliability. There are evidences that are reliable and that are not. And so how should we actually apply them to health problems? We believe that at our lab, studying about "evidence" is one of the necessary factors to build a basis. This year at ORF, We would like to deepen our understanding about "evidence" with you.

Children's workshop on Health Communication

Person in Charge of the Project : Miki AkiyamaEvery year, in Miki Akiyama Lab, we hold Children's summer workshop in Yamagata (Tsuruoka City). Workshop is mainly about Health and this year, we taught children about "mystery of communication". Communication is related to our mental health so we decided to do this theme. It was little bit difficult issue. However, not only children but also we could learn many things about communication. We will introduce you about the summer project and its result in here.
