| This session will focus on the health risks found in immigrant populations and interventions that address those risks. Health care access, attitudes toward health care, health status and causes of poor health are assessed from multiple population groups. | |||
| Learning Objectives: On completion of the session, participants will be able to: 1) understand health risk factors for immigrant populations; 2) describe socio-demographic factors, health status and risky behaviors among adolescents who have been victims of armed conflict; 3) identify various health priorities for post-war reconstruction; and 4) identify three factors that contribute to refugee reluctance or refusal to initiate and complete treatment for latent TB infection. | |||
