David Takeuchi Wins Health Disparities Innovation Award

David Takeuchi and two of his colleagues, Margarita Alegria (Harvard University) and James Jackson (University of Michigan), were awarded the Health Disparities Innovation Award by the National Institutes of Health. They received the honor for two groundbreaking studies, the National Survey of American Lives and the National Latino and Asian American Study. These studies are the first of their kind to provide national estimates of the social factors associated with mental disorders among African Americans, black Caribbeans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. The studies provide a better understanding of the health disparities in the distribution of mental disorders, access to mental health care, and the quality of mental health services available to these racial and ethnic groups.
