3. MESSAGE FROM THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
July 2020
On behalf of the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University, I would like to welcome you to our
18th Annual Youth Leadership Conference on Asian and Pacific Islander Health. You are among
the 100 exceptional students selected from high schools across the world to participate in our
Congressionally-recognized program.
As an official Stanford University conference, the Youth Leadership Conference brings together
the best from the academic, business, political, and medical communities to create a rigorous
yet rewarding learning environment. In these next four days, you will hear from prominent
speakers who will share their experiences in a diverse range of professions. In light of today’s
multicultural and interconnected society, this conference will not only challenge you to combat
the health disparities affecting the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities but also moti-
vate you to empower others to join the cause. As you embark on this conference, you will be
ready to step up as leaders to create and inspire change in your local and global communities.
Through the Team Challenge, the hallmark of this conference, you will collaborate with peers
to develop a vision and strategy to mobilize people worldwide to take action against one of
the world’s biggest public health threats: Hepatitis B, the leading cause of liver cancer. You will
gain the analytical, creative, and organizational skills necessary to craft and deliver your mes-
sage in a way that will inspire millions of people worldwide to join our cause. This conference
is an opportunity for tremendous personal growth; we sincerely hope that you will be an active
contributor in our group discussions, workshops, and presentations and in turn become a more
effective student, speaker, and leader.
Your initiative and enthusiasm are key to the success of our annual program. By being proac-
tive and engaged, exchanging ideas with your peers, and confronting the health disparities
presented at our conference, you will gain invaluable experience that will shape your develop-
ment as a person, student, and leader for years to come.
As part of the rising generation of leaders, you have the capacity to build comprehensive
solutions to the many pressing problems of the 21st Century. Treasure your time here and step
outside of your comfort zone. My greatest hope is that you will come out of this conference
with a passion for taking action to make a difference in our world.

4. ASIAN LIVER CENTER
Founded by Dr. Samuel So in 1996, the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University is the first non-
profit in the United States founded specifically to address the high incidence of hepatitis B
and liver cancer in the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community. The Asian Liver Center
is dedicated to eradicating hepatitis B through a four-pronged approach of “C.A.R.E.” -
collaboration,
advocacy, research, and education. The Asian Liver Center not only conducts outreach and
advocacy efforts for hepatitis B treatment and liver cancer prevention, but also implements
community-based clinical research programs, serving as a resource for practitioners and the
general public.
In May 2001, the Asian Liver Center launched the Jade Ribbon Campaign in the San Francisco
Bay Area to spread awareness about hepatitis B and liver cancer in the Asian community. The
Jade Ribbon was chosen to represent the campaign because in many Asian cultures, jade
is believed to bring longevity and good luck. Folded to resemble the Chinese character for
“people,” the Jade Ribbon symbolizes the spirit of the campaign to unite all people in
spreading the message about hepatitis B and liver cancer.
The Jade Ribbon Campaign is a comprehensive program that employs mass media, interactive
resources, and community outreach to increase awareness about this significant health
disparity.
The campaign has spread across the country and the world, uniting people from as far as
China, Laos, and the Philippines, in the fight against hepatitis B and liver cancer. Partners of
the Jade Ribbon Campaign include more than 400 groups of community organizations and
federal agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Task
Force on Hepatitis B: Focus on Asian Americans, as well as the Health Resources and Services
Administration and its affiliated agencies in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The Asian Liver Center has received international recognition from publications like China
Newsweek and Bloomberg News for its cutting-edge liver cancer research program, which
pioneers the effort to determine the molecular basis of liver cancer. Health authorities,
including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. National
Institutes of Health, have awarded and recognized the Asian Liver Center for changing national
and global health policies related to hepatitis B.

13. COLEMAN FUNG
Coleman is a serial entrepreneur, a generous philanthropist, and a fine
art photographer: you can see his photographs in Shires, the Berkeley Art
Museum, and the East Asian Library on Berkeley campus…
Coleman’s first job was a Supply Specialist/Sergeant with the US Army.
Maybe that’s why he ended up studying Industrial Engineering and
Operations Research for his BS degree at Berkeley and his MS in Industrial
Engineering at Stanford. Here’s another fun fact: he was stationed at
Coleman Barracks in Mannheim, Germany for his first deployment. After
getting his degrees from Berkeley and Stanford, he became a derivative
trader for Wall Street banks. He would insist that, back in the late 80’s and
early 90’s, he was truly doing a critical job — hedging interest rate risk for
banks — as a derivative trader. Not an irresponsible credit derivative trader
putting the whole financial system at risk right before the Great Recession
in 2008... He in fact left trading way back in 1991, and founded Open Link.
Open Link is a trading, risk management, and logistic solution provider,
serving financial institutions as well as energy/commodity trading firms.
He was particularly proud of his design skills as the platform architect: his
system was — and is still is today — used by a unique mix of clients, from
central bank clients such as the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada to
energy firms like Shell, Chevron Texaco, and Centrica.
After Open Link, he co-founded Blue Goji with his fellow Berkeley alums,
Charles and Kai Huang — the co-creators of the Guitar Hero game. Blue
Goji is a health and wellness technology company focusing on Active
eSports and Healthy Aging...

Participants,
Welcome to the 18th Annual Youth Leadership Conference on Asian and Pacific Islander Health! The
first Youth Leadership Conference was held in 2002 and has quickly become the epitome of youth
empowerment, engagement, and change in the JoinJade movement. Here, you will not only learn
about how to advocate for increased awareness for one of the largest global health disparities, but
you will also have the opportunities to hear leaders from a plethora of fields, including media, business
management, human resources, public health, and cultural identity. With this in mind, we hope this
conference will inspire you to consider the nuances of problem-solving ventures you apply yourself
to. Take this opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse perspectives; the world will be a better place
for it. Finally, while this conference is tailored towards the public health sector in the Asian and Asian
American community, it is our hope that you will apply the skills and knowledge you learn here to
future endeavors.
We understand that the format for this year’s conference is unconventional and wish we could meet in
person. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy this week of learning, advocacy, and personal growth.
Wishing you the best,

TEAM CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGE
Although this year’s conference is held virtually, the Team Challenge is the defining hall-
mark of the YLC. It is an opportunity for you to integrate the influence of media, the facts
of hepatitis B, and social advocacy into a potential campaign that will bring awareness to
one of the largest global health disparities. Combating this disease includes addressing the
following:
• Increasing the number of “at risk” people that get tested
• Link the chronically infected to care
• Vaccinating those who are unprotected, including newborns
With this in mind, your team is tasked with creating a hypothetical media campaign or
product that raises awareness about the importance of getting tested for hepatitis B.
PROJECT EXAMPLES
Don’t be afraid to think out of the box! Keep in mind how these initiatives are culturally
relevant to the audiences for which they were intended.
JOINJADE x Vietnam Town Initiative
Beginning in 2019, the JOINJADE We Care campaign is pushing forward a new initiative
that is dedicated to the Vietnamese-American population residing in proximity to San
Jose’s Vietnam Town. By establishing partnerships with various Vietnamese and Vietnam-
ese-American owned vendors, JOINJADE We Care aims to not only inform the community
of fundamental hepatitis B facts, but also encourage them to seek testing and help spread
the message.

2019 SF Pride Parade “Generations of Impact”
This year’s San Francisco Pride Parade, held on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, re-
volved around the theme, “Generations of Resistance,” and took place on June 30 at Market
Street. In line with this year’s theme, the University of California, San Francisco held its “Genera-
tions of Impact” campaign to highlight the university’s long-standing commitment to the LGBT+
advocacy and leadership in HIV research. Marchers from UCSF handed out sunscreen and carried
signs with the message “Support HIV Research: Find a Cure” in order to bring awareness to a
health issue that disproportionately affects members of the LGBT+ community.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
• Your campaign or product must be associated with the brand “JoinJade”
• You must enlist one external partner, for example a business, public agency, social media
influencer, etc. Asian Liver Center cannot be considered a partner for this Challenge.
• Each of your team members must play an active role in the development of your project.
• A form of media or technology must be specified.
• A budget must be proposed.
• The project must have a clear timeline. I.e. indicate when you would execute the campaign
and expected results such as people impacted or personal goals your team wishes to reach
by various time benchmarks.
• You must specify quantitative goals (i.e. number of people reached) & how you’ll reach them
• In short, your project proposal must include the following:
• Initiative Title
• Point of Contact
• Purpose
• Goals and Objectives
• Projected Outcomes
• Resources Needed
• Budget
• Timeline of execution
Treat your 8-minute presentation as an elevator pitch for your promotional strategy. Why should
your campaign be chosen to execute? How will it address the disparities regarding hepatitis B
prevalence among ethnic groups? Remember, be creative and have fun!

PLANNING AND BRAINSTORMING
• When brainstorming, please consider the following questions:
• Overview - What is the mission of your outreach campaign?
• Purpose - What are your reasons for choosing this form of outreach? What is your goal?
Do you aim to educate, screen, etc.?
• Who - What is your target audience? I.e. if you choose an ethnic group, do some research
on your ethnic group to learn more about their traditions!
• How - How will you engage your target population?
• Unique attributes - What attributes does your campaign have that will make it stand out?
• Feasibility and Viability - Can your campaign actually be implemented by the Asian
Liver Center? Will it be sustainable over time? (Hint: Take a look at some of the Asian Liver
Center’s past work!)
TEAM PRESENTATION
• Closing ceremony
• Each team will have 8 minutes to present their campaign. Every member of the team must

• 2.3% of total population of Vietnamese Americans over the age of 5 speak a language other than
English at home
• 33% reported that they do not speak English well or at all
• Increase from 1980 - 2010 by 599.2% indicating increasing use of Vietnamese at home
• 21% obtain a bachelor’s degree while 48% have attained a high school diploma
Hmong, Thai, Laotian
• Less than .5% spoke a language than English at home
• Hmong
• 21% reported that they do not speak English well or at all
• 14% obtain a bachelor’s degree while 53% have attained a high school diploma

• Laotian
• 27% reported that they do not speak English well or at all
• 12% obtain a bachelor’s degree while 58% have attained a high school diploma
Miscellaneous
• Among all groups who spoke a language other than Spanish, Asians were least likely to speak
English “very well”
• Larger numbers of people living in metropolitan areas are more likely to speak another language for
the economic opportunities
• In suburban areas, it is less common to speak another language
• States with stronger economies such as California, New York, and Texas have 35-45% population that
speak a language other than English

50. Health Care Expenditures Among Asian Americans
• Asians have 37% less total expenditures in health care on average compared to Caucasians.
• Asian American’s citizenship status, access to information in native language, and English
proficiency were the most important.
• Citizenship explained 17-19% of the differences in healthcare spending
• Limited English proficiency explained another 14-18% of difference in health care
expenditure.
• Unobserved factors include communication, trust, reliance on traditional medicine,
discrimination.
• Asian Americans have lower physician and pharmaceutical costs but not hospital
expenditures which suggests that it is necessary to encourage preventive care interventions
among Asian Americans to reduce hospital spending.
Health Care Access Among Asian American Subgroups
• Koreans and other Asian Americans have a higher probability of getting a check up when
they live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood
• Racially homogenous neighborhoods strengthen communities engagement and
may open up more information about the US health care system
• Chinese and Vietnamese are most likely to refuse health care due to the absence of service
in their native language.
• The perception of Asian Americans as the “model minority” has led to their segregated
settlements to be seen in a positive light such as Chinatowns, Koreatowns, Little Tokyos, and
Little Saigons as opposed to denigratory terms such as ghettos, slums, and barrios. Does
this further homogenize the health care system in these cities or diversity it by encouraging
non AAPI practitioners to enter these communities?
