This course examines community health theories, contemporary issues, and culturally responsive approaches to advance health equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. Students will gain foundational knowledge on structural discrimination and racism as the root cause of poor community health; and explore contemporary issues such as gentrification, incarceration, human trafficking, community trauma, mental health, and stigmatized chronic/infectious diseases. The course will include guest presentations, case studies, professional skills training, and field trips to Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander-serving clinics and community-based organizations.
