18 Sep ACE Project Continues Recruitment Efforts at the Child Expo
The ACE Project took The Children’s Trust Family Exposition by storm! The Children’s Trust Family Expo is a daylong festival held at the Miami-Dade Fair & Expo Center. The ACE Project team stood alongside other programs affiliated with FIU’s Center for Children and Families to provide information on services and opportunities to participate in research. ACE Project Staff members, Nasreen Hidmi and Benjelene Sutherland, alongside research assistants from both the ReACH and NBC Labs, spoke to adolescents and their parents about how they can participate in the ACE Project, an NIH-funded study on risk and protective factors for e-cigarette use. Their recruitment efforts resulted in contact sheets from over 60 families interested in participating in the ACE Project. ACE Project staff and Principal Investigators, Dr. Elisa Trucco and Dr. Matthew Sutherland, are excited to invite more families to participate in the coming weeks.
