An insightful text exploring health disparities in Asian American populations

In the newly revised Second Edition of Applied Population Health Approaches for Asian American Communities, a team of distinguished public health experts delivers a groundbreaking resource providing an in-depth examination of the soical, political, economic, and cultural forces shaping Asian American health today.

Integrating up-to-date applied public health research for assessing health interventions and programs relevant to Asian American communities and other groups that have been historically marginalized, this book highlights the different frameworks, research designs, and other methodological considerations for reaching Asian American and other ethnic communities.

In the latest edition of the book, readers will find contextual explorations of the Asian American population in the United States, as well as discussions of the measurement of health and risk across the lifespan in Asian American groups. It also includes:

  • New and updated case studies showcasing the application of different frameworks and research designs
  • Methodological considerations for reaching Asian American and other vulnerable and underserved communities
  • Examples of successful implementations of community engagement and community-based participatory research.

A valuable resource for all levels of health professionals, practitioners, and community advocates, Applied Population Health Approaches for Asian American Communities remains the leading reference for anyone conducting or studying health disparities in Asian American communities or other groups that have been marginalized.
