This inquiry is a personal essay about Vietnamese American youth participating in a beauty pageant and how notions of Western and Eastern beauty collide between Vietnamese American youth and their mothers. What does the beauty pageant represent for those who have been exiled from their homeland? How do ideal versions of success influence the participant’s identity or sense of self? Who is the ideal Vietnamese American beauty queen? By hypothesizing and understanding entry points that affect a mother’s perspective, Vietnamese American youth, specifically daughters, must navigate different ideals to find a sense of belonging. While being excluded from parts of American society, Vietnamese American youth are faced with trauma, values and ethics, racism and sexism while also being the personification of a mother’s success. Daughters who participate in a beauty pageant enforce a sense of community and are a symbol of hope to assimilate in America for those who have been exiled, and a participant’s success is a product of this navigation and a mother’s vicarious desires. In other words, the ideal beauty pageant queen must not only be able to uphold cultural values embedded in the beauty pageant but also their values entangled through familial relationships as well. As such, the ideal beauty pageant queen can balance both the daughter’s (Western) and the mother’s (Eastern) definition of success.

Objectives: To analyze perceptions about multiple community-engaged oral health research partnerships with various local Hispanic-serving institutions and community-based organizations occurring in Indiana from 2010 through 2020, via interviews with actors involved in those partnerships. Methods: We designed key informant interview questions based on a literature review to inform the approach at synthesizing perspectives from community partners and academic allies. Statements were categorized using thematic analysis and grounded theory. Lessons Learned: Forty percent of respondents stated that community-engaged research projects connect communities with educational information about dental care and low-cost resources. In terms of capacity building, about half of respondents felt these projects had a positive impact. Conclusions: Community partners defined positive impact as increasing access to dental care educational resources, helping to enhance communication networks through social media with community partners, and contributing to local Hispanic health education through TV, internet, and radio partnerships. The partnerships uniting Hispanic groups and academic allies appear to have helped set a foundation of trust to support current and future efforts in Indiana.

Newly resettled refugees have poorly managed acute and chronic health conditions as a result of their migration experience. To add to an already complex experience, poor health literacy complicates effective utilization of healthcare among these communities (Wångdahl et al., 2014). Health literacy has been described in the literature as one of the key determinants of and potential barriers to optimal health (Kickbusch, 2001). Anecdotally, health literacy curricula have been implemented in other low-literacy communities with success. Yet there are very few known structured curricula built into the resettlement experience in the United States (U.S.), and even fewer have been described in the literature. In collaboration with Closing the Health Gap and Refuge Collaborative, a six-week health literacy curriculum was developed and disseminated in adult Syrian refugee populations within the Greater Cincinnati Area. Using a pre-post intervention design, I aimed to assess the baseline health literacy of newly resettled adult refugees in the Greater Cincinnati Area and evaluate the effectiveness of the health literacy curriculum in improving the functional health literacy of these communities. This pilot study informed the development of a health literacy curriculum aimed at high school refugee students enrolled in Cincinnati Public Schools. Establishing the effectiveness of such a curriculum has the potential to have far-reaching impacts on other refugee communities undergoing the resettlement experience. Other communities experiencing low health literacy, such as African Americans, may also benefit from a similar curriculum. Most importantly, improved health literacy can indirectly translate into more effective health care utilization and lead to overall better health outcomes for disadvantaged communities.
