Abstract:
We describe the application of community engagement in addressing priorities and gaps in health care delivery among Asian American populations through community-driven action, resulting in the development of two policy briefs to be disseminated to policymakers at the local, state, and national levels. The policy briefs highlighted (1) gaps in mental health research and culturally tailored mental health education programs and care and (2) an overall gap in culturally and linguistically tailored evidence-based health care delivery among Asian American populations. (Am J Public Health. 2025;115(S2):S134-S137. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308027).
