Dr. Sarah Sperry and her Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) student, Victoria Murphy, recently presented Victoria’s research on Prechter Program data at the UROP Spring Research Symposium, held on April 20. Dr. Sperry was nominated as an Outstanding Mentor for the UROP program, for supervising this work.
Victoria’s project “Within-person dynamics of sleep, mood, and context in bipolar disorder: An EMA and actigraphy study” examined how sleep, mood, and health-related behaviors (alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, exercise, and time spent outside) differ across the seasons in people with bipolar disorder.
Results of Victoria's study are not yet finalized, but as soon as they are, an update will be shared here in the Prechter Program newsroom.
