Скачать или смотреть Panel 3: Research Presentations: Low-Income Asian American Communities of Refugee Origin (LIAACRO)

Researchers present their findings on frequently overlooked Asian American subgroups: Low-Income Asian American Communities of Refugee Origin (LIAACRO).

While US authorities have data on Asian Americans, they lack detailed information on specific subgroups. This lack of data obscures the low income and poverty levels affecting a disproportionate number of Asian Americans of refugee origin.

Therefore, we use the term “LIAACRO” to describe the communities we represent and serve, instead of current bureaucratic labels. Those labels, along with popular stereotypes, hinder efforts to obtain accurate research data, which is crucial for improving the health and wellbeing of our diverse communities.

The Montagnard / Asian Community Research Network is an independent grouping of researchers, advocates, and community members housed at Montagnard Association of NC, Inc. (formerly MDA), one of the oldest community-based organizations of refugee origin in North Carolina.
