How Long Have We Been Recruiting

Stanford Medicine has been recruiting participants since April 2024 to assess barriers to participation and strategies for success for engaging Asian Americans. MOSAAIC at San Francisco Bay Area will start recruiting participants in December 2024.

Additional Information
