Advancing Science in Community-Engaged Research: Increasing Capacity to Reach Diverse Populations and Address Health Disparities [Symposium]
Abstract
African immigrants (AIs) are a growing yet understudied immigration population in the US. Churches that serve the AI population are a feasible and ideal setting for conducting community-based research to understand the cardiovascular health of AIs. The evidence and lessons learned from the Afro-Cardiac Study among AIs will be presented.
