The ACCESS Community Health and Research Center participates nationally and internationally in collaborative research programs and forums. Our goal is to continue to gather and disseminate the fundamental, rare minority health information that is needed for Metro Detroit’s Arab/Chaldean community. This research, along with activities and events we develop in collaboration with our partners, is intended to improve healthcare programming for minority populations nationwide and to raise public awareness about the health issues and disparities in our community.

The Conference on Health Issues in Arab Communities has been a crucial medium of collecting and publishing health data that is pertinent to Arab Americans. We have co-authored over 100 publications in the fields of behavior and epidemiological research, including the ethnicity and disease special supplements on Arab American health in “Introduction: Proceedings of the 4^th Biennial National Conference on Health Issues in the Arab-American Community”(Ethnicity & Disease, Vol. 1501, Supplement 3, February 2005, S1-VII). In 2010, the proceedings of the 5^th National Conference on Health Issues in the Arab American Community were compiled and published in the newly established journal ACCESS Health.
