The SEA US HEAR US survey would like to better understand the experiences and impact of COVID-19 on Southeast Asian American communities. The purpose is to collect information about your experiences with COVID-19 to potentially develop new, more culturally relevant interventions for Southeast Asian Americans (SEAAs) living in Greater Los Angeles.
During the study, you will review and complete a consent form agreeing to participate, then you will complete the survey. You will be contacted to complete follow-up surveys at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The survey asks about your health and COVID-19 experiences change over time among SEAAs like you.
To be eligible to participate in this study if you:
- Older than 18 years of age
- Live in the Greater Los Angeles area
- Self-identify as Cambodian, Filipino, Thai, or Vietnamese
This study is being conducted by Dr. Patchareeya Pumpuang Kwan, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at California State University, Northridge and Dr. Melanie Sabado-Liwag, Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Health at California State University, Los Angeles.

The Institute will allow us to discuss the effects of the events of the last several years on vulnerable minoritized groups around the world. The pandemic and multiple political crises have left indelible marks on the way people communicate across the globe. Two opposing pressures were felt during the pandemic. On the one hand, person-to-person communication, an important factor in the maintenance of minority languages and cultures, was negatively impacted, and older people, often the most vulnerable in minority populations, were cut often off from their families. At the same time, several generations within a single family were compelled to be in the same space for a long time, which created new opportunities for communication in home languages. The horrific wars in Ukraine and Armenia have created waves of refugees whose needs various host communities are desperately trying to meet. Linguistic, educational, and sociocultural needs are among them, and the discussions at the Institute will center around new ways to meet such needs.

PEMSEA invites proposals from PhD students, researchers, and scholars focusing on climate and anthropogenic change, disaster responses, and interactions during the early modern period (EMP) Southeast Asia for research awards up to $7500.
PEMSEA seeks a more nuanced understanding of the EMP through building local and indigenous histories, particularly, those that show responses to climate change and disasters. The compelling problem is long-term climate change in Southeast Asia during the last millennium CE, with a special focus on the EMP and the extent to which the Little Ice Age affected Southeast Asia. PEMSEA aims to contribute to developing datasets and analyses on the intersection between anthropogenic and climatic change during the EMP. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary proposals that draw from archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological, dendroclimatological, and/or sedimentological sources, and historical records that utilize both indigenous and colonial documents from various sites in Southeast Asia.
Proposals should include:
- cover letter with contact information;
- CV (5 pp. limit);
- a five-page narrative that highlights the significance of the proposed research on PEMSEA’s goals, methodology, data sources, and plans for further research;
- and an itemized budget with justifications as needed.
For more information, view the full award guidelines. Submit proposals by email to cseas@international.ucla.edu.
