Grace X. Ma, PhD, Associate Dean for Health Disparities, Founding Director of the Center for Asian Health and Laura H. Carnell Professor in the Department of Urban Health and Population Science at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, was interviewed for an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about health disparities and barriers to health care faced by Asian-Americans. Dr. Ma was recently awarded a five-year, $4 million grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant is the first of its kind to support research that addresses the impacts of structural racism and discrimination on liver cancer and liver disease in high-risk Asian-Americans. Specifically, the research will focus on three ethnic groups – Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese-Americans.
