John J. Chin’s research focuses on the role of community institutions in delivering social and health services to under-served communities, including immigrant communities and communities of color. His NIH-funded research has examined the role of immigrant-led community institutions in delivering HIV prevention and stigma-reduction messages. He recently completed an NIH-funded study of health risks for Asian immigrant women working in sexually oriented massage parlors. Prior to his academic career, Chin helped to found the Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS (now a federally qualified health center known as APICHA Community Health Center), where he served as deputy executive director.
