Marquette College of Nursing

Congratulations to Dr. Abiola Keller and Dr. Kristin Haglund, who are one of five grantees awarded $50,000 by The Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation to support early-stage interventions designed to improve care for populations affected by racism.
Dr. Keller and Dr. Haglund’s efforts will aim to implement and evaluate a digital storytelling intervention in which healthy behaviors among African American caregivers are promoted through the creation and sharing of life stories. Their work will address the higher burden of family caregiving and worse physical health that African Americans face compared to their white counterparts and their lack of representation in studies on caregiver health.
