Dr. Saw conducts community engaged, participatory research with Asian American immigrant and refugee populations to promote health and mental health through culturally responsive interventions and policy advocacy. Her research is focused at the intersection of health and mental health, and she is particularly interested in how structural, community, and sociocultural factors shape coping and health behaviors and how we can design and adapt behavioral health interventions to improve health and mental health outcomes for Asian/Asian American communities.
