Vietnamese Insights into Cognitive Aging Program (VIP)
Description:
For this project, we will develop an unprecedented longitudinal study of 540 older Vietnamese Americans in the Sacramento and Santa Clara areas to begin addressing the dearth of cognitive aging research in this population. We will examine cognition at baseline and cognitive decline, as well as rates of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. We will investigate how early life adversity, trauma, sociocontextual, psychosocial factors, cardiovascular health, and cardiovascular disease risk factors, impact cognitive outcomes.

Autism Intervention Research Network on Behavioral Health
Description:
Decades of research have established that racial ethnic minority, low-income, and/or non-English speaking children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are diagnosed later than white children, and their families experience greater difficulty accessing services. The goal of the Autism Intervention Research Network on Behavioral Health (AIR-B Network), is to work with community partners to increase access to ASD services for families from traditionally underserved populations.
