    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Martinez-Mier, E. Angeles
    BiCCHEC fosters multidisciplinary research collaborations that address the biological, cultural, historical, legal, behavioral and demographic issues that impact the health status of communities where Latinos are born and where they live in Indiana. BiCCHEC has a commitment not only to research but also to teaching and service, and works always in partnership with communities. Current projects include: A microcredit project for residents of rural villages in Mexico, in partnership with the Indianapolis Rotary Club and ProMujer; a study on international service-learning outcomes of health professional students in the U.S., Latin America (Mexico), Africa (Kenya), and Asia (China), a partnership among IUSD, IUSM and IUSON faculty; a study on oral health disparities using community-based participatory research methodology, in partnership with La Plaza, and the Institute for Mexicans Abroad; and, a study on the dissemination of the Helping Babies Breath program in small rural communities, in partnership with the UAEH.
