Project 2: Environmental Risk, Coping, and Hispanic Health

Community Outreach

"I think that most people are affected by high levels of stress today. It is very exciting to be a part of a research project that's purpose is to study the effects of stress. As a member of the Healthy City Assessment Project - Texas City Advisory Panel, I have been very impressed with the time and effort that is being dedicated to talking with people in the pravacy of their own home so that people in our community can easily join in this study."
