Monday, November 8, 2010: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
Cultural and social processes – like acculturation and discrimination - frame our communities’ vulnerability to specific determinants of health. This session presents some of the field’s leading public health research efforts, establishing the relationships between various determinants of health embedded in Asian & Pacific Islander communities.
Session Objectives: At the end of the session, participants will be able to: (1) Identify salient determinants of health for Asian & Pacific Islander communities; and (2) Discuss how determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, occupational class and immigration-related factors impact Asian & Pacific Islander health.
