S2 Ep. 38 Exploring the Risks and Risk Reduction Strategies of Latino Day Laborers with Dr. Rangel and Dr. Fernandez-Esquer

"We felt that by looking and by reading and by understanding in the words of the laborers what they go through, it would actually enhance the capacity of programs to reach them... There's nothing more valuable than developing a program with the understanding that the vision and the knowledge and the strengths of the population that you are trying to serve have been considered as part of the development of the program." In this episode, guest host Dr. Melissa Valerio-Shewmaker is in conversation with Dr. Rangel and Dr. Fernandez-Esquer. They discuss the risks and coping strategies of Latino day laborers, and they remind us of the importance of including the community in every step of research.
