Partnered Labs 

SAGE x Public Health AmeriCorps is also collaborating with other ASU labs including: 

Couple Health, Aggression, and Socio-Economics (CHASE) Lab

The Couple Health, Aggression, and Socio-Economics (CHASE) Lab investigates intimate partner aggression (IPA) from the angle of socio-economics. We conduct basic correlational and longitudinal research examining socio-cultural and economic predictors of IPA. We then apply the knowledge gained from this work towards the development and evaluation of innovative and accessible interventions aimed at decreasing risk for IPA specifically among vulnerable and underserved groups. We focus on both members of the couple, which allows us to study the complicated, dyadic dynamics of IPA, socioeconomic stress, and health.

Students in the CHASE Lab will participate in weekly team meetings and contribute to research projects via a variety of tasks (e.g., participant screening and recruitment; literature reviews; data coding). Interested students will have the opportunity to seek out individual research projects or thesis-related work by receiving support in data analysis and dissemination of research conducted within the lab.


Stigma and HIV-related health (SHH) Lab

The Stigma and HIV-related health (SHH) Lab is looking for motivated student broadly interested in HIV prevention and care, stigma, LGBTQ* health, and Latino health. The name SHH acknowledges the silence surrounding stigmatized identities and our lab seeks to break that silence through research. Under the direction of Dr. Angel B. Algarin PhD, MPH, the lab focuses its research on the impact of stigma on factors affecting HIV care and prevention. We are also interested in the development and implementation of interventions that aim to buffer the impact of stigma to improve health outcomes.


M-PAC Study - Phase 2:

The purpose of the M-PAC Study is to increase physical activity and reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias among midlife adults aged 45 to 65 years. Participants in this 9-month study will receive a Fitbit activity monitor and 6-months of individualized, virtual physical activity coaching. Coaching sessions will be delivered through telephone or app-based video call. Phase 2 of this study will start September 2024 and include 125 midlife adults. 

Smart Walk Study

The purpose of the Smart Walk study is to increase physical activity and improve the health of Black women living in the Phoenix area. Specifically, the study will examine if a culturally tailored, smartphone-delivered physical activity intervention, entitled Smart Walk, is more effective for increasing physical activity and improving health outcomes among Black women than the commercially available Fitbit program over a 12-month intervention period. Participants will include 240 Black women from the Phoenix metropolitan area.
