Health Discoveries Program
Let's Get Healthy! Interactive Education and Research Exhibit
Learn important information about your body while contributing to science!
Let's Get Healthy! is a popular interactive education and research exhibit now available for use at area health fairs. Attendees are invited to enroll as research participants where they learn about the research process and the quality of their own diet and body composition. Participants can contribute their anonymous health information to a population database that researchers can use to the study the relationship between eating habits, body composition and genetics. All data is anonymous.
Let's Get Healthy! (originally titled Nutrition World) was created by OCTRI Community & Practice Research (CPR) program team member Jackie Shannon and others. The exhibit debuted at OMSI in summer 2007 and was hugely popular. Over 3,000 individuals lined up to participate over the week and a half of the exhibit.
