The Nevada Institute for Children's Research and Policy (NICRP) was mentioned in the article, "Leaving No Stone Unturned: Southern Nevada Health District" that is featured on CDC's "Stories from the Field" page.
The Southern Nevada Health District's (SNHD) Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is a CDC partner doing heroic work when it comes to reducing disparities in adult immunization. In April 2021, SNHD began a COVID-19/Flu project with partner organizations, with the goal to increase vaccine equity by reaching project priority populations. Project activities are comprehensive and include an assessment of needs, equipping influential messengers, engaging the community, and distributing vaccines. To get a true evaluation of needs, SNHD worked with NICRP to conduct needs assessments.
NICRP is housed under the School of Public Health.
