Legacy Pilot Project: Hepatitis B Services in Smaller Cities with Emerging API Populations
Dr. Chin examined the availability of hepatitis B services in smaller cities with emerging AAPI immigrant populations. The study surveyed health and social services providers in 30 small cities with rapidly growing Asian immigrant populations to assess the availability and need for hepatitis b services as well as to understand the institutional facilitators and barriers to implementing these services. The results of this study fills a critical gap in the current understanding of health issues for immigrants in cities small and large.
