Southeast Asian Data and Trends Analysis

Southeast Asian Data and Trends Analysis (SEA DATA) is a comprehensive data collection and analysis initiative of the Center for Southeast Asians (CSEA) in partnership with the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF).  The overall goal of the SEA DATA project is to create a trusted source of information on the SEA community in Rhode Island to guide community development, inform policy decisions at local and state levels, and enable government agencies, nonprofits, and businesses to allocate resources where they are most needed. 

SEA-DATA has produced an issue brief on the health status of SEAs in Rhode Island and the implications of the Affordable Care Act on this community; in addition, a Facts and Community Trends (FACTs) Report was released in spring 2014 to highlight demographics, community characteristics, and socioeconomic issues affecting the SEA community in Rhode Island.

Health Issues in RI’s Southeast Asian Community:
  • Health Care Access & Utilization
  • Implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
  • Cancer & Heart Disease are leading causes of death
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • PTSO, Depression & Anxiety
  • Hepatitis B
  • HBV
Recommendations:
  • Implement data collection protocols to capture ethnicity-specific data on the SEA community.
  • Adopt alternative measures of access to healthcare. 
  • Provide culturally and linguistically relevant educational resources to promote and educate the SEA community about the Affordable Care Act and new  health care reform policies in RI.
  • Increase resources to educate SEA patients and clinicians who interact with them to screen for and inquire about lung and liver cancers, heart disease and associated risk factors, and hepatitis B.

"We arrived in America as refugees from Southeast Asia, with very little in our pockets, but plenty of hopes and dreams. We worked in the factories and other odd end jobs to support our families, slowly paving our way to become business owners, restaurateurs, and working professionals.

Many of us are rooted in two worlds: one, the green rice fields of our memories; the other, a new world, dense and urban.  Over time, our children have adapted and grown, now graduating high school and college with hopes and dreams to give back to their community. As the future of Southeast Asians in Rhode Island, we are committed to reaching out to our community, especially those who have not established a sure footing.

Having come so far, we now set our sights on going further. We are proud to be celebrating the heritage, the rich culture, and the evolution of Southeast Asians in Rhode Island--and in America."
