OUR WORK

We are pleased to share our published white papers and their impact on the larger community.

THE IMPACT

The effects of our work are listed below.  Some are works in progress.

  • Fitness Facility & Access -  As a result of our study, MCW identified the need for the city to adopt a strategy to maintain and grow adult-focused ability centers that contribute to the overall well-being of its citizens.
  • Filling the Healthy Sexuality Education Gap - As a  result of our study, MCW partnered with the TN Department of Children & Youth and UTC to present an all-day training session for parents to learn how to educate their children about reproductive health.
  • Changing Outcomes for Teens: Reducing Teen Pregnancies - This study pointed out the need for informative, accurate education for our city's youth relative to their sexual behavior and relationshipal health.  It led to the educational program mentioned above.
