A passion for improving lives – Luis Zayas looks for the indicators of teen Latina suicides

Tagged: , ,
Under Zayas’ direction, the Center for Latino Family Research will produce family oriented research and develop young scholars committed to advancing knowledge on Latino populations.

“Zayas, the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor of Social Work and associate dean of faculty, focuses on pressing social problems in Hispanic populations. A study on the rising rate of Latina suicides and research on the treatment of pregnant minority women suffering from depression and stress are just two of his many projects under way.

He’s helping to build a new research center for Hispanic studies at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work. And earlier this month, he launched a series of conferences, drawing leading Hispanic scholars to the WUSTL campus.
