OurChild: A Health IT Solution to Reduce Minority Health Disparities

Brief description of study

Chinese American immigrant families are a fast-growing immigrant group with unmet early childhood mental health needs. We propose to design, build, and implement OurChild, an integrated mHealth/EHR solution to increase access to in-language and culturally tailored early childhood mental health knowledge and mental health services and resources for Chinese American children ages 2-6 years old and their parents in Sunset Park Brooklyn. Our goal is to reduce health disparities by explicitly designing a digital solution that facilitates connection and bidirectional exchange of information across the cultural, contextual, language, and setting differences that are key barriers to early childhood mental health knowledge and access to care for this immigrant population.
