Reducing health disparities for culturally and linguistically diverse peoples. This project aims to develop a greater understanding of migrants and the factors that predict poor health outcomes related to blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections.

Summary
Should I stay or should I go? Increasing natural disaster preparedness and survival through animal attachment.
