About this research opportunity

The Social and Health Inequities Research Training (SHIRT) program equips students with hands-on research experience to address social and health inequities. Each year, the program focuses on a different critical issue affecting underserved communities, providing students with a comprehensive understanding and practical skills in social research.

 

This Fall 2024, the SHIRT program will focus on the Agua y Vida project, addressing water issues among Latino communities in Arizona. Students will collect and analyze data on beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding water among Latinos in Arizona. Students will then participate in the development of an interactive exhibit to educate and engage the community on issues related to water in Arizona. Participants will gain experience in every phase of the research process, from data collection to creating impactful, community-focused educational materials.
