Bowen
Chung, M.D., M.S.H.S. is currently a research scientist at Healthy
African American Families II and is a Co-PI on the NICHD Fatherhood
Project. The goal of this project is to: 1) utilize community partnered
participatory research to engage African American and Latino men around
fatherhood issues; and 2) interview all father's enrolled in the LA site
of the CCHN study to determine what factors (trust, time, access) are
associated with existing father participation.
