OVERVIEW

In collaboration with the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Research Center for Health Equity (CRCHE), we addressed cancer screening disparities in Koreatown’s Latino and Asian communities. Through research, we identified key barriers, including cultural and language differences, limited cancer education, and low trust in the U.S. healthcare system. In response, we designed a multilingual support packet and an incentive-based community distribution model to increase screening participation among underserved populations.

Focusing on the primary populations in this area, Latino and Asian communities, we conducted extensive primary and secondary research to analyze disparities in cancer screening in Koreatown. Our findings indicate that the main causes lie in cultural and language barriers, a lack of cancer education, and low levels of trust in the U.S. healthcare system.

To narrow these gaps, specifically among Latino and Asian populations, we designed a multilingual information support packet focused on community and family engagement. Our goal was to demystify the screening process using clear, concise, and approachable communication. 





To be specific, we established an incentive-based loop: community organizations distribute the support packet to residents, who then complete their cancer screening and receive a screening statement from the healthcare facility. Residents can then use this statement to obtain coupons from community organizations, thereby increasing cancer screening participation among Latino and Asian populations in Koreantown.
