Asian Women for Health (AWFH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of Asian Women and people from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds through community engagement, education, and representation. We envision a world where Asian Women and underrepresented community members are well-informed, have access to care that is culturally appropriate and high quality, and inspired to live happy, healthy lives.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Health outcomes within Asian American subgroups are frequently lumped together, obscuring the distinct experiences and inequalities accentuated by the COVID-19 crisis. In this presentation, we will highlight preliminary findings from community-driven projects like the FILLED Project and The SEA US HEAR US Study. These observational insights offer valuable guidance for community leaders, policymakers, and public health researchers seeking to craft targeted interventions after the pandemic. These findings aim to empower further community-driven projects and enact effective strategies for addressing health inequities by spotlighting disparities from local communities to broader societal contexts.
