AI Article Synopsis
- Policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches can boost healthy behaviors, but often miss racial and ethnic minorities like Korean Americans due to social and linguistic barriers.
- Targeted PSE strategies are essential for effectively engaging these groups and helping them access healthy foods.
- Community-based organizations (CBOs) can leverage their cultural insights to successfully implement these tailored strategies, reaching over 13,000 Korean Americans.
Article Abstract
The Problem: Policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches have been shown to be effective in increasing rates of healthy behaviors in the overall population, but are not always effective in reaching racial and ethnic minority groups, including Korean Americans (KAs), who may be socially and linguistically isolated from mainstream campaigns and programs. Targeted and tailored PSE strategies are needed to reach these groups.
Purpose: To describe the process and lessons learned in implementing a targeted and culturally tailored PSE strategy to increase access to healthy foods for KAs.
Key Points: A Korean community-based organization (CBO) used its inherent understanding of cultural context, and social and historical viewpoints of KAs to develop PSE strategies to reach more than 13,000 KAs.
Conclusions: Local CBOs can play a significant role in complementing population-level strategies with more tailored and targeted approaches to reach racial and ethnic minority groups.
