New Research from Ozeryansky and Co-Authors on the Health of Ukrainian Refugees
Prior research on refugees’ health has found that they frequently report poor health, but systematic analysis of refugees’ health is still limited. To address this research gap, CSDE Trainee Larisa Ozeryansky recently co-authored an article which analyzes survey data who fled the war in Ukraine for Norway in 2022. The article, entitled “Trends in the health status of Ukrainian refugees in Norway according to month of arrival during 2022” and published in BMC Public Health, found that refugees who arrived later in the year reported poorer long-term health but less psychological distress than those who arrived earlier.

Fyall Co-Authors Publication on WASH Among RV Residents
As vehicular homelessness has become more prevalent in recent years, meeting the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) needs of vehicular residents has emerged as a growing public health concern. CSDE Affiliate Rachel Fyall (Evans School) recently co-authored an article in the International Journal on Homelessness which documents the experiences and WASH needs of RV residents in Seattle. The article, entitled “Keeping Clean: A Qualitative Analysis of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Among Residents of Recreational Vehicles in Seattle, WA US” finds that water and hygiene experiences of RV residents were comparable to those of other unhoused populations, but that sanitation needs were distinct. The authors also propose several service delivery models for cities which can address the needs of RV residents. Read the full article here.

Gregory to Deliver Katz Distinguished Lecture on December 3rd
How did the West Coast become the “Left Coast” and what does that mean for American politics? In the 1930s, California, Oregon, and Washington began to develop a relationship based on the role of radical social movements that has added to their regional affinities ever since. Appearing first in the 1980s, the term “Left Coast” has further underlined the significance of progressive and radical movements in the political systems and reputations of these states. In the Katz Distinguished Lecture on December 3rd, CSDE Affiliate James Gregory (History) will explore the history of West Coast radicalism and factors that have made it influential beyond what is common in other regions, including those with blue state traditions. The event (6:30pm in Kane Hall, Room 210) is free and open to the public. Seats open until filled.
