Overview

Today, we'll discuss immigration as a social determinant of health and other implications immigration status may have for health policy.

You'll have the opportunity to briefly present to the class your initial ideas for your grant proposal, due on February 22nd at 5pm. Using a strict 5 minutes, you'll present your general topic, provide brief evidence to why you chose the problem, list your methodology(ies), and anything you want us to know. The class will provide written feedback for each presenter.
