Dr. Xue Li, and her research team collected data from 4 different types manual laborers working in Chengdu China and at selected sites within Sichuan Providence.  These workers were asked to complete a survey designed to assess their current health status and were then classified into one of three basic groups, Healthy, Sub-Healthy, and Diseased.  Dr. Li will describe her research project, present her analysis, and discus the implications and importance of a basic health assessment for manual laborers in China.  Working conditions, and other  cultural/lifestyle factors will also be discussed.  Her data is one of the first attempts to understand the health issues experienced by Chinese workers from the workers themselves. Come and discuss the health of Chinese manual laborers with our award-wining scholar in residence Dr. Xue Li.
