Seeking undergraduate students interested in patient outcomes qualitative data analysis
Assist in research about chronically ill patients and their caregivers for course credit or volunteer basis.
We are seeking to have 2-3 undergraduate students (for course credit or on a volunteer basis) assist with qualitative data analysis starting in Summer 2026. The position will be in-person for 6 hours per week. Students will use transcription software and a transcription pedal in the CPH Computer Laboratory (2nd floor, Cunz Hall).
Rachel Mason, a PhD candidate in the College of Public Health, is conducting interviews and focus groups with chronically ill patients and their caregivers as part of their dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Tasleem Padamsee. The overall goal of this dissertation is to identify, characterize, and, ultimately, measure administrative tasks and consequences for patients and their families navigating the United States’ healthcare system. This dissertation utilizes mixed methods research in order to achieve these aims.
We are considering applicants who have an interest in research about chronically ill patients and their caregivers associated with administrative barriers, an interest in qualitative data analysis, and are fluent in English (as all interviews are conducted in English). Please email mason.931@osu.edu with a copy of your current resume and a one-paragraph description of why you want to be involved in this research and how this opportunity will contribute to your education.
