Over two-thirds of all children in the United States will need to attend a child care center (CCC) by the time they reach six years of age. These children are at higher risk of becoming sick compared to children cared for exclusively at home, largely due to the germ-sharing behaviors of CCC attendees, naive child immune systems, and crowded environments of care facilities. Disease outbreaks also burden CCC programs with high illness rates, productivity lost due to these illnesses, and expensive environmental cleaning costs. MCRISP enables CCC directors to report anonymous illness incident reports to the network in order to better inform the Washtenaw County Department of Public Health and Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan of emerging trends within the county. Our network currently represents more than 4,000 young children within Washtenaw county from a blend of private, university and federally supported (e.g. Head Start) child care centers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592423024159-HAN3CGNG1WG5E1CF38IQ/Screen+Shot+2020-06-16+at+11.08.48+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592423192035-EEVI5RHP19UJIK6LPMPR/Screen+Shot+2020-06-16+at+5.21+1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1591808001476-WCST6XV4UPZ7F1KMHV1Z/image-asset.jpeg Home https://mcrisp.org/our-team daily 0.75 2024-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592528073783-LSV4U0YYUUZ6U8UYSLT7/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-06-16%2Bat%2B10.47.31%2BAM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/61e1a784-778d-4144-8d2a-9936a9fa6e09/emily.jpg Our Team - Emily Martin, PhD, MPH Emily is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her work seeks to build a greater understanding of the epidemiology of viral respiratory diseases using molecular epidemiology methods. Through characterizing existing and new interventions to prevent transmission and severe disease, her research aims to identify strategies to reduce infections, particularly in individuals with chronic comorbidities, in hospital environments, and in child care settings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592317950113-VP46UQXXK5Z8PP7PUJMM/Chedid.a51fc10c.jpg Our Team - Khalil Chedid, MD, PhD Khalil is an epidemiologist in the Michigan Center for Respiratory Virus Research and Response at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. His previous work investigated the transmission and acquisition of multidrug resistant organisms in hospital and community settings. Currently, Khalil is researching the transmission of respiratory viruses in child care and potential interventions to mitigate their spread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592317724081-96D7MRP7Q331046TILIU/M_Hayashi%2BPhoto.jpg Our Team - Michael Hayashi, PhD, MPH Michael is a computational epidemiologist and modeler. He is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology. His research uses mathematical and computational tools to understand the mechanisms of disease transmission with a focus on the interaction between human behavior and disease processes. Current projects include understanding the transmission of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in child care settings. Michael is also actively interested in the development and application of computational methods for public health research and practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/1592317695640-MITPQP8ROYFFMNAVQ18E/Will%2BHeadshot.jpg Our Team - William Gribbin, MS Will is an Internal Medicine Resident at Indiana University. They started working on the MCRISP team while they were a medical student at University of Michigan Medical School. Will is most interested in the intersection of technology and medicine, including virtual and augmented reality, medical education, and data visualization. Will plays a central role in optimizing MCRISP's visual element design and ensuring the MCRISP interface remains simple and intuitive for its users. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee0012c0f139f3593e86fa7/f7b9a2c5-f768-4385-923b-4165e49f53ed/jakob.jpg Our Team - Jakob Rodseth Jakob is a Software Engineer and a technical advisor for MCRISP. In addition to his industry experience building services and leading teams at startups and Fortune 500 companies, he has a background in medical and clinical software development and research.
