SMA Seminar: Zika Frontline Research: Preliminary Findings

The SMA Zika TIG group is hosting a second webinar on January 18th from 10:00-12:00 EST.  The title of the webinar is: Zika Frontline Research: Preliminary Findings.

This webinar is an opportunity to build on the first webinar we hosted in April, 2016.  Since April there have been members of the SMA Zika TIG group actively conducting research in various field sites.  Most recently Zika has been downgraded from a public health emergency and response efforts are shifting to focus on long term care plans for impacted communities.  In this webinar four different scholars will present their preliminary research findings from the field.
