Description: This report summarizes the results of a survey of adult, working-aged patients in a large, urban, tax-supported county healthcare system, consisting of an inpatient hospital facility and eight community health centers. The major objectives of this research project were to assess the patients' access to healthcare, factors affecting their access, and their health status. The system was the John Peter Smith (JPS) Health Network in Tarrant County, Texas. In the introductory section, the authors will first briefly describe the healthcare delivery system for the uninsured and/or indigent population in Texas in general, and in Tarrant County specifically. Next the authors will outline the methodology used in a telephone survey of the adult patients in the JPS system. In sections that follow in the appended material, the authors will summarize the highlights of the descriptive analysis of the data from this phase of this project in a narrative, followed by presentation of complete descriptive tables and graphs.

Description: This poster explores research on how skin care needs differ between different age groups, such as between teenage girls and middle aged women. The research questions are, what kind of skin care treatments are specifically needed for each group, and what kind of chemical ingredients are helpful to satisfy their needs. To answer these questions, the author would use a combination of a social survey and experimental methods. First, the author would use a survey including some questions related to skin care and their age and gender, including at least 50 women of different ages. From the data, the author would experimentally find out what kind of active ingredients are truly helpful to satisfy teenagers and middle aged women's needs.
