Data Talk with AARP California:
Why AANHPI Representation Matters
| | |
On May 9, 2025, Dr. Van Ta Park, CARE’s Multiple Principal Investigator, participated in a meaningful discussion alongside Alex Chew of Amplify AAPI and Daphne Kwok, a CARE Community Advisory Board Member and AARP’s Senior Vice President of AANHPI Outreach. The conversation centered around the vital role that AANHPI voices and perspectives play across various sectors.
Throughout the session, they delved into how AANHPI data is increasingly shaping key areas such as entertainment, medical research, marketing, and economic policy. They highlighted the growing recognition of AANHPI communities and the powerful impact of accurately represented data in driving more informed decisions. The discussion showed the importance of continuing to amplify AANHPI contributions to ensure that these communities are not only seen but also heard and understood.
Take Action: We invite you to join the conversation and support the need for increased representation of AANHPI communities in health research.
Share CARE with your network and get involved in efforts to ensure AANHPI perspectives are heard. Together, we can drive meaningful change.
