International Fund for Fishing Safety Award

The award from the International Fund for Fishing Safety will allow the PEOPLE Centered Research Lab to expand the “Docside Clinic: Connecting Docs to Docks” program to two new locations in the TX and LA Gulf Coast. The clinics are focused on intervening in the bidirectional relationship between work-related injuries and social-structural determinants of health for commercial fishermen who face dangerous working conditions, have limited sick leave benefits, and lack preventive healthcare access.
