On Thursday, June 17, 2021, The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR), together with the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health, hosted a Connect & Explore webinar titled “Childhood Obesity Research Across Borders: Social Determinants of Health.” The webinar was the first in a two-part series and discussed how social determinants of health, specifically in terms of migration and the social environment, influence childhood obesity in the United States and Latin America.
Hear from three expert speakers in this Connect & Explore webinar:
- Rafael Perez-Escamilla, PhD, Yale University

This webinar series was based on a June 2021 special issue of Obesity Reviews, Childhood Obesity Prevention Across Borders: The Promise of US‐Latin American Research Collaboration.
