Remaining DFM Research Forums for 2005

We will have a short presentation followed by discussion of the Department of Family Medicine data warehouse and the role of the warehouse in research. Jon Temte, MD, Phd and David Dadds, MS along with members of the ITS and Data Warehouse teams will be available to discuss present and future opportunities for research available through the DFM Data Warehouse. This is a chance to learn about the type of data that is available and think about how the warehouse can contribute to your research agenda. We will discuss how we can develop new ways of thinking about it as a resource for research and how the warehouse fits with the DFM mission and strategic plan. Please come and add your voice to the discussion.

Michael Fleming, MD, MPH will present findings from his recent research on brief intervention with patients to address at-risk alcohol behaviors. Dr. Fleming has been conducting brief intervention research with patients in primary care and medical settings across the state of Wisconsin since 1988. He has tested brief interventions to address risky alcohol behaviors with adults in primary care, with older patients and with new mothers in OB clinics. He is currently working with groups of teens and young adults. His findings have relevance to provision of services in our primary care clinics. Please join this seminar.
