Overview and Update on CHIP’s Progress3
University of Connecticut’s Center for Health, Intervention, and Prevention (CHIP):
Creates new scientific knowledge and theoretical frameworks in the areas of health behavior, health behavior change, health intervention, and prevention at multiple levels of analysis (e.g., individual, family, community, societal).
Health is broadly defined and may include physical and mental health, and outcomes with critical implications for health (e.g., decreasing stress).
CHIP’s Mission
4
Work at the intersection of behavior and biology (e.g., increasing medication adherence) is encouraged.
CHIP disseminates its research and cutting-edge interventions through capacity-building, structural change, teaching, mentoring, and collaboration at the University, local, state, national, and international levels.
5
CHIP’s Mission (continued)
CHIP serves as a nexus for investigators at the University of Connecticut and other institutions to stimulate collaborative partnerships for the development of major research initiatives in health behavior change.
CHIP offers “one stop shopping” for everything you need to write a successful grant and to optimally perform your funded research.
6
In 2002, we received funds from the Office of the Chancellor and VPRGE to serve as a multidisciplinary center for the study of health behavior and health behavior change across the University.
We became an independent University Research Center in 2007.
Origins of CHIP
7
Since receiving University support, we have launched new health behavior change initiatives in a variety of areas, such as:
Autism
Cancer prevention and control
College student health
Complementary / alternative approaches to health
Diabetes management
Dissemination of health promotion interventions
Exercise genomics / science
Global health
Health communication
Health disparities
Health policy
HIV prevention
Medical adherence
Nutrition
Obesity
Research synthesis
Substance abuse and treatment
8
9
Since FY02, CHIP researchers have performed path breaking research in each of these research domains that has been highly influential and improved the public health.
CHIP/UConn’s Standing Compared to AAU Member Aspirant Institutions in
Selected Health Domains
10
The OVPR did a recent study of health keywords in which UConn outpaces AAU member aspirant institutions in grant dollars per faculty member
Results
11
Grant dollars per faculty member at each AAU aspirant institution for the keyword “HIV”
NOTE: These results are even more impressive given that we do not have a med school associated with the results (in contrast to the majority of the top schools in this graph)
Results
12
Grant dollars per faculty member at each AAU aspirant institution for the keyword “intervention”
Results
13
CHIP Research Network
Our network comprises over 490 affiliate scientists from almost all of the schools and colleges at the University of Connecticut, from other universities, and from other institutions.

Two Ways to Approach This
Assessment of mental disorders as mediators or moderators of health behavioral change. The most obvious example would be examining the
effects of depression on health behavior outcomes.
Putting a health behavior focus on mental disorders This could cover the gamut of mental illness and
substance use disorders.
Assessment of Mental Disorders as Mediators or Moderators of Health Behavior Change
Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes
If we are looking at elderly populations, David Steffens and Kristina Zdanys would be interested.
Obesity
Lance Bauer would be interested in obesity in general.
If we are looking at management of obesity in mentally ill populations that gain weight because of psychotropics, Jayesh Kamath, Naila Azhar, and Andy Winokur would be interested.
Assessment of Mental Disorders as Mediators or Moderators of Health Behavior Change
HIV - Diana Paez has an interest.
Cancer - Jayesh Kamath is interested in cancer fatigue and cancer survivorship.
Chronic Health Conditions – a variety of individuals conduct research about these conditions.
Post-partum/pregnancy - Karen Steinberg would be interested in collaborating.
Research that puts a Health Behavior Focus on Mental Disorders
Depression Adherence - Jayesh Kamath

Why “School and Child” Health?
• Collaboration across education and health sectors is necessary to accomplish child well-being
• Modeled from the ASCD / CDC joint initiative: Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) framework
• Collaborative research is critical toward informing coordinated policy, processes, and practices connected with the 10 components of coordinated school health
Source: http://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/wscc/index.htm
Mission
The mission of the Collaboratory on School and Child Health (CSCH) is to facilitate innovative research in school and child health. CSCH serves as a central resource to university and external partners engaged in research efforts that inform healthy, safe, supporting, and engaging environments for all children.
Goals – Adapted from CHIP
Goal 1: CSCH will provide an interdisciplinary nexus for investigators across the University of Connecticut to stimulate multidisciplinary collaborations and major new funded research initiatives in school and child health.
– Objectives: To bring together research efforts in school and child health, facilitating (a) efficient internal communications about current areas of individual work, (b) broader dissemination of these efforts under the CSCH collective, and (c) networking opportunities to connect around potential common research interests.
Goal 2: CSCH will undertake research to create new scientific knowledge, theoretical frameworks, and methodological advances in the areas of school and child health. This work will focus on understanding the dynamics of health behavior and related systems, the science of health behavior change, and the science and practice of developing, implementing, evaluating, and disseminating effective interventions with community partners.
– Objectives: To foster innovative research that advances evidence about healthy, safe, supporting, and engaging environments for all children, including (a) forging new cross-disciplinary research collaborations, (b) building partnerships with external stakeholders interested in answering pressing questions of practice, and (c) engaging in large data analyses with a lens on policy implications.
Goals – Adapted from CHIP
Goal 3: CSCH will share its expertise in school and child health with community partners and relevant local, state, national, and international organizations.
– Objectives: To establish a recognized source of expertise in school and child health, with information presented via user-friendly, engaging digital communication strategies for a variety of contexts and audiences.
Goal 4: CSCH researchers will educate and mentor undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, researchers, faculty, community members, and others in the science, engaged scholarship, and practice of school and child health.
– Objectives: To establish a locally and nationally-recognized resource for educational training materials on school and child health.
Goal 5: CSCH will take a leadership role in fostering a team science approach among University of Connecticut research scientists, clinicians, and selected community partners in building the evidence around prevention, risk reduction, and intervention strategies that promote healthy, safe, supporting, and engaging environments for all children.
– Objectives: To establish CSCH as a recognized model for team science in school and child health.
