4098.0 Health across the lifespan: API perspectives

Tuesday, October 30, 2012: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
As the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community continues to become more diverse – in terms of ethnicity, culture, time and destination of migration, languages spoken, and generation – public health research must adapt to these dynamic patterns. This session will present selected themes in API health across the lifespan, including generational differences between API immigrant mothers and their new generation of daughters, and emerging health priorities among the aging API population.
Session Objectives: 1) Discuss a Community-Based Participatory Research approach to identifying health needs in two generations of Cambodian refugee women and differences in priorities as a result of the generation gap; 2) Identify changes in attitudes about intimate partner violence that resulted from a talk story intervention among Native Hawaiian and Pilipina women and girls; 3) Discuss the differential relationships between maternal socio-demographic characteristics and birth outcomes among diverse Asian sub-populations; and 4) Describe attitudes and beliefs that influence Advance Directives/Advance Care Planning in Chinese and Vietnamese communities.
