| Sumario: | This article describes a continuing, successful binational
collaborative effort between researchers from two academic
institutions in the United States and Mexico addressing health
issues on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border region.
Researchers from the Texas A&M University System Health
Science Center School of Rural Public Health (SRPH) and
the Reynosa-Aztlán Multidisciplinary Academic Unit of
Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas (UAT) partnered to
conduct two research projects in the South Texas/Mexico
border region. These binational research projects focus on
obesity and diabetes, issues that seriously affect border residents.
This article also highlights the challenges that must
be addressed to sustain binational collaborative efforts and
recommendations for successful partnerships |
