"Hello everyone! My name is Michelle Yiu, and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at UC Berkeley studying Public Health with a minor in Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies. This fall semester, I have been given the opportunity to conduct my own research project as a Cohort 14 researcher of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Health Research Group (AAPIHRG). AAPIHRG is an organization that strives to improve the health of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities through research, community service, and social activism.

I am currently conducting a study on how social determinants of health, especially working conditions, limited English proficiency, and wage theft, impact the health outcomes of restaurant workers in urban Chinatowns. The main purpose of the survey is to investigate the relationship between working conditions and health outcomes for restaurant workers in urban Chinatowns to better understand how to possibly improve working conditions impacting workers’ health. The results from the study will be open to the public and presented virtually on Zoom on Tuesday, November 23rd 6:00pm PT.

If you identify as a restaurant worker in an urban Chinatown, please support my study by taking the survey below. To everyone else, please share this with any Chinatown restaurant worker that you may know.

The survey will close on Tuesday, November 16th 5:00 pm PT.

大家好！我叫姚明珠（Michelle Yiu）, 我是加州柏克萊大學四年級學生。主修公共衛生，輔修亞裔美國人和亞洲僑民研究科。今年秋季學期，我有機會作為亞裔美國人和太平洋島民健康研究小組（AAPIHRG）的第14組成員開展自己的研究項目。 AAPIHRG是一個致力於通過研究，社區服務和社會活動改善亞裔美國人和太平洋島民社區健康的組織。

我目前正在進行一項關於健康的社會決定因素，尤其是工作條件，有限的英語能力和工資盜竊如何影響城市唐人街餐廳工作人員的健康結果研究。該調查的主要目的是調查城市唐人街餐廳員工的工作條件與健康結果之間的關係，以更好地了解如何改善影響員工健康的工作條件。該研究的結果將向公眾開放，並於太平洋時間 11月 23日 星期二 下午 6:00 在 Zoom 上以虛擬方式呈現。

如果你認為你是城市唐人街的餐廳工作人員，請通過下面的調查來支持我的研究。對於其他人，請將此分享給你可能認識的任何唐人街餐廳工作人員。

此調查將於太平洋時間 11月 16日 星期二 下午 5:00 結束。"

Shared from Joan Shim, one of our Cohort 14 researchers & facilitators:

"Hello everyone! I am exploring the perception and awareness of tuberculosis (TB) in UC Berkeley students within the Asian American (AA) Pacific Islander (PI) community because there is high burden of TB in the AAPI community and many survivors are diagnosed around the time that they are students. However, TB is not commonly studied in student demographics.

If you are a UC Berkeley student and identify as Asian American and/or Pacific Islander, please consider taking the survey below. This survey should take about 15 minutes, and participants will be given the option to be entered in a raffle to win a $25 dollar gift card!
