Research Description
Julian Chow's research examines the provision and utilization of health and social services by ethnic and immigrant families and children both in the US and abroad, especially in Asia.? The context of policies and programs in which services take place largely shapes the experience of seeking help. Having service available, by itself, does not necessarily lead to service utilization and problem solution. ?Specifically, Julian Chow's research program looks at why immigrant families struggle to access readily available services, aiming to identify ways to transform social and health services for the underserved and improve service delivery for immigrant populations and communities.
