Lead Agency: Asian Services In Action

The Ohio coalition is creating an active statewide Asian Health Coalition to advocate for systems, funding, and policy changes, particularly related to Hepatitis B. Its strong regional network of community advocates (individuals and organizations) works both independently and in coordination with the statewide coalition. For example, the coalition conducted the first statewide Asian American conversation on health. This four-year project also is working to strengthen the state's Asian American research community, improve researchers' collaboration with ethnic communities and organizations, and encourage projects using community-based participatory research methods.
