Title of Project: 07MP – AMPLIFI Assessment and Analysis Core – Cost of oral and prescription drugs and health care utilization among cancer survivors.
Project Description:
AMPLIFI is a large project to test different web-based programs to improve healthy eating and exercise in adults with an-obesity related cancer. The AMPLIFI study collects data on prescription and over the counter drugs, and health care use (hospitalizations, ER visits, doctor visits) self-reported by participants. The intern will work on standardizing the drug data for analysis, and summarizing the information collected to advise the team on how to streamline the data collection. The intern will also analyze the drug and health care use data, obtain the available price for each drug and health care visit, and calculate the total drug and health care cost for each participant.
