PHE 316 – Asian American Health Equity
Biography
Asian Americans face tremendous disparities in preventable health conditions yet they are often invisible in health research and policy. As a result, health resources and services are inadequate to meet the needs of this growing and heterogeneous population. In this course, we will examine the historical, social, cultural, and political context that shapes health in Asian American communities in Portland and beyond.
This is the same course as PIAA 316 and may be taken only once for credit.
