Biography:

My name is Dr. Victor Kaufusi, I am an assistant professor at BYU-Hawai’i. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa and a proud alumnus of the University. My research focuses on addressing Pacific Islander health disparities due to the impact that health problems have on the individual, family, and communities. I have shared my research at various conferences around the world to inform culturally tailored health strategies among Tongan Americans which is a subgroup of the overall Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander ethnic group.
