Overview 

The United States Coalition for African Immigrant Health (USCAIH) and the Johns  Hopkins Center for Health Equity invite representatives of community-based organizations, federal, local, and state agencies, health professionals and providers,  researchers, and students to discuss a range of health issues that affect African  immigrants to the United States and other regions and share effective evidence-based  strategies and practices. Our focus on African immigrants includes refugees, asylees,  and other displaced persons from the continent. 

We encourage the submission of innovative abstracts that challenge current paradigms  and highlight work that seeks to understand and improve the health of African  immigrants. We strongly encourage submissions that reflect best practices in research,  practice interventions, and policies that specifically address the health of this  population.
