Marginalized populations face health disparities in research, diagnosis and treatment at a higher rate of incidence than many other groups. Dr. Saadi’s research concentrates on improving the health outcomes for this population, focusing on neurologic health disparities and social and structural determinants of health among racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants and refugees. Join us to hear more about for improving the health outcomes for these patients through action-oriented and policy-relevant goals.
