We are committed to ensuring that Asian American and Pacific Islander Veterans’ perspectives and experiences are integrated into our research. In support of this, we are developing two Veteran Engagement Groups: one for Asian American Veterans and another for Pacific Islander Veterans.

Veteran Engagement Group members will meet with our team regularly to share their perspectives regarding this project. We will use their feedback to ensure that our research methods and questions are relevant to Asian American and Pacific Islander Veterans’ experiences, needs and preferences.

If you are interested in joining our VEGs, please contact Christe’An Iglesias
