How Does The Effect Of Hurricane Katrina Influence Healthcare Infrastructure And Resilience?, Sean Y. Wei
University Honors Theses
In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina brought upon the city of New Orleans, LA one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.

In the aftermath of Katrina, careful investigation of the healthcare system along with its hospitals, physicians, patients, and residents allow us to take innovative measures and provide guidance to create recommendations to better monitor and care for individuals in the future.

The study also investigated staff perceptions when working with …

Such programs aim to support student persistence by providing academic, social, and financial resources …
Migrant Health Policies In The European Union: A Comparative Policy Analysis, Jessica Joanne Currier
Migrant Health Policies In The European Union: A Comparative Policy Analysis, Jessica Joanne Currier
Dissertations and Theses
There is an undeniable relationship between migration and health. Despite the fact that the concept of health as a fundamental human right has been enshrined in numerous international and supranational policy instruments, health disparities between migrants and host nation populations persist.

The literature firmly positions migrants as a vulnerable population due to their collective risk of poor health outcomes in multiple areas. …
