Is Our Picture of Health Disparities Incomplete?: Importance of Inclusion in Research (An Interview with Dr. Bei Wu)

  • Summary

  • In this interview, we sit down with Dr. Bei Wu, an inaugural co-director of the Aging Incubator at New York University (NYU). She holds the position of Vice Dean for Research, dean’s professor in global health and director of global health and aging research at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. In this episode, Dr. Wu describes how she applies the principles of the Social Determinants of Health and the Life Course Perspective in studies on health disparities among rural populations in West Virginia, older adults, and Asian immigrants in the U.S.  She discusses the bias researchers should be mindful of when using existing data sources.  Dr. Wu also outlines how a newly funded research center at Rutgers and NYU for Asian health promotion and equity can advance research on cardiometabolic disease and mental health of Asian adults and foster the next generation of health disparities scholars.
