Re: studies regarding Haitian women & cancer

[Guest guest]

,

I don't have the articles with me right now and won't for the next couple of

weeks. I'll try to

send the references to you by the 2nd week of May. If it seems that I've

forgotten, please do

not hesitate to write me at my home email address and remind me. Of what type

of article, in

particular, are you in search? I see that your email domain is with the Oregon

Child

Development Coalition. Are you located in Oregon, too? Are there many Haitians

there?
