Kissing bug and Chagas disease outreach in the southern United States: empowering the public and health care workers along the US-Mexico border

The Texas A&M University Kissing Bug Citizen Science Program will be revised, and expanded resources will be made available for public and health care worker promotora education around kissing bugs, Chagas disease, and associated health topics. Assessment of online resource usage and evaluations of promotora training workshops will be used to quantify the impact of our program on improving promotora knowledge.
