Epidemiologic studies include a representative household-based Cameron County Hispanic Cohort (n > 4,700) aged 8 years and above with extensive characterization of the sample including biological, mental health, behavioral, socioeconomic, and genetic measures. A Clinical Research Unit conducts a range of studies related to public health, including chronic and infectious diseases, with some studies conducted on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border.
