Thursday June 9th and Friday June 10th were pretty similar. We woke up and were on campus by 9am, On campus, we divided the remaining work between us. We have been working quite well with each other especially since this is our first time doing research outside of the country and also since there are no other options other than working together. I am just pretty surprised that many other concentrations do not have the same exposure that the Global Health practice concentration has when it comes to project protocol, objectives, objectives etc that I thought were standard knowledge. (Thank you Dr. Nisbett)
We have developed our project objectives which include
1. Discover the health issues of community
2. formulate a culturally appropriate intervention
3. Discover gaps/discrepancies in health knowledge
4. Assess importance of demographic characteristics in health outcomes
5. Develop a survey tool that can be used in other communities in Belmopan and the country of Belize.
Since the room we have been using has no A.C. and it gets quite hot in the day we have decided to relocate to the library which allows us to have better wireless internet access and also is much much cooler.
Everything so far is going according to plan but we are being hindered by the Belizean Ministry of Health review board, hopefully we will be okay by next week.
