"We hope researchers will realize that #AANHPI communities do want to engage in research if you outreach in the language that they speak in the communities they live"
Dr. Van Park discussed @care_registry and ACAD in a roundtable with @UrbanHealthNow

Remember how we published a paper last year in @alzdemjournals discussing how ACAD was formed to address the lack of diversity in #alzresearch ?
Read our interview with Pei-Chuan Ho, PhD to discuss that landmark paper and what we plan to do next!
