Raising the health standards in Nevada is critical to enhancing quality of life in the state and improving its economic vitality. UNLV is helping to address these challenges with numerous academic and research programs. The Health for Nevada initiative supports UNLV's Top Tier efforts and aligns with the needs of the state and local economy. The Health for Nevada Initiative is an investment that is expected to bring more health care jobs to Nevada and spur research with great potential to produce effective, new health-care related products, drugs, and services. This collection contains bibliographic records for research produced by faculty members in the Health for Nevada Initiative. When possible, Digital Scholarship@UNLV will obtain the full text of these works for reading by a global audience.
