Socially Isolated Cambodians in the US: Recommendations for Health Promotion
Community organizations in the United States are severely challenged to serve Cambodian refugees who experience health disparities associated with their traumatic experiences.

Combating Health Disparities in Cambodian American Communities: A CBPR Approach to Building Community Capacity
The use of mobile technology with spoken format can be a valuable tool in accessing input from vulnerable community members, including persons who may not be literate in any language.

Together, they are uniquely placed to make important contributions to the well-being of their community
Working With Refugees in the U.S: Trauma-Informed and Structurally Competent Social Work Approaches
Social workers, government, and non-governmental organizations in the United States have been inadequately prepared to address the impact of trauma faced by refugees fleeing persecution.

Micro and macro social work practitioners must und…

The careful selection of interpreters; the training, support, and p…

The analytic sample included 339 persons who met past 12-month criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression disorder, or alcohol use…
Conducting Research on Violence in Asian American Communities: Methodological Issues
Conducting culturally competent research is a challenge as the United States becomes increasingly multicultural.
