Community-Based Participatory Research

The RIWP is a community-based participatory research project designed to better understand resettlement stressors and social determinants of health, prevent psychological distress, and promote mental health, well-being, and integration of Latinx and African refugees/immigrants in the United States in a holistic way, with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of mental health disparities experienced by newcomers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
