Background
This project was about taking hard-to-understand research on racism against Asian people and its effects on Korean American mental health. We made it easier to understand by turning it into accessible formats. Our goal was to spread awareness and give community groups the tools they need to speak up and make a change.

Co-creation
Through collaborative discussions with the CAB, we identified key dissemination channels and messaging strategies. CAB members provided valuable insights, including the need for clear definitions of anti-Asian racism and culturally sensitive visuals. They actively participated in brainstorming a comprehensive dissemination plan targeting various audience segments and utilizing diverse channels.

Impact
CAB feedback resulted in presentation slides that were more culturally sensitive and impactful. The project fostered collaboration between researchers and community organizations, paving the way for future advocacy efforts. Dissemination materials, including 500 posters, reached a wider community audience, raising awareness about anti-Asian racism and its impact on mental health. The community-developed plan, partnering with local groups, government, schools, and media, promises to broaden the project's impact and long-term reach.
