An administrative supplement to the MOSAAIC study focused on adapting mental health assessment tools and protocols for Asian and Pacific Islander populations to improve research quality and participant safety.
Description
The project aims to address cardiometabolic and mental health disparities among underrepresented Asian and Pacific Islander populations through rigorous, culturally tailored research. The study involves translating mental health instruments into five Asian languages, evaluating their psychometric properties, and developing protocols to address suicidal ideation, especially in underserved communities. The research will enhance participant safety, data quality, and inform health policies.
