Event Description Addressing information inequities to reduce health disparities for Korean-American immigrants
Health information is a critical resource for guiding decisions about health care and health promotion. Yet, immigrants are often disconnected from the relevant health information they need. Korean-Americans, in particular, encounter serious problems with cancer morbidity and mortality due to communication breakdowns within the health care system. This presentation will describe an intensive field research and intervention program designed to address information inequities and reduce health disparities for this large and growing immigrant population. This research underscores development of a new communication model for reducing health disparities.
