Our Stories, Our Health
Using self-made media to improve the health of Laotians and Vietnamese immigrants
Project Summary
Our Stories, Our Health aims to engage immigrant Laotian and Vietnamese seniors in the process of health needs identification, first-person storytelling, video production, and community discussion about health. They will create short videos using recorded narratives of immigrant health experiences, design workshops using the videos to engage communities in discussions led by immigrant seniors, and educate health professionals and the general public about health disparities and barriers faced by immigrant seniors.
