Hello colleagues,
In an effort to NOT recreate the wheel, I'm seeking bibliographies and/
or single sources that include:
(1) empirical research projects on health concerns in the asian-american
population (not general articles related to ethnic minority health
issues) and/ or
(2) articles on asian-american health promotion programs which have
outcome data on results (not articles describing a project which only
outline approach or activities)

Any and all help/ leads will be much appreciated.  Please send info
directly to [log in to unmask]

Thanks in advance,

M. Ali Meatchem
Research Assistant
Wright State University/ School of Professional Psychology
