Research summary
AI-generated

Haocen Wang's research focuses on genetic testing and screening (such as newborn genomic sequencing, carrier screening, and BRCA testing) and how different communities, including Chinese American, Latina, and older adult populations, understand and use these health services. The work also covers cancer prevention, physical activity, and aging-related topics like falls and physical functioning, often using qualitative interviews and survey-based methods. This research aims to inform how genetic and health services can be made more understandable and accessible across diverse populations.
