S3 Ep. 19 Exploring Occupational Health Recommendations Among Immigrant-owned Nail Salons with Dr. Trân B Huỳnh, Tina Nguyễn, and Nancy Nguyen

In this episode, guest host Mory Chhom discusses the perceived benefits and barriers in implementing an occupational health training program for nail salon workers in Philadelphia with Dr. Trân B Huỳnh, Tina Nguyễn, and Nancy Nguyen. They explain the recommended or required safety measures, as well as the health problems people experience when they are working in salons that do not follow the occupational health best practices. This work is an important example of how personal and political can be so interconnected and the value of community partnerships in tackling policy-level change. This episode references the article titled "Perceived Benefits and Barriers to Implementing Occupational Health Recommendations Among Immigrant-Owned Nail Salons in the Greater Philadelphia Region" by Trân B Huỳnh, PhD, Dương (Tina) Nguyễn, MPH, Nga Vũ, BS, Amy Carroll-Scott, PhD, Chanina Wong, MA, Catherine Freeland, MPH, and Claudia Parvanta, PhD.
