The goal is to address healthcare and social service barriers experienced by AAPI elders by building capacity for culturally relevant care within service systems, fostering health literacy among AAPIs and their caregivers, and cultivating cultural sensitivity among future health and social service providers. Our objectives, to achieve this goal, are: (1) improve interactive health literacy among AAPIs and their caregivers by developing and implementing customized and culturally-tailored curricula and trainings, (2) build capacity within aging service organizations to provide culturally meaningful and linguistically accessible outreach and service delivery, (3) build capacity within ethnic community-based organizations for staff to serve as liaisons between mainstream services and AAPIs and their caregivers, (4) enable the future workforce of health and social service providers to acquire knowledge, attitudes, and competencies for providing culturally-sensitive and family-centered care for AAPIs and their families, and (5) create a mechanism for knowledge translation and dissemination of health and disability-focused information through culturally-tailored and accessible messaging and products. In this presentation, we will also discuss about some of the products and outputs we have developed so far.
