Dr. Meenal Rana, along with her colleagues from Virginia State University and the University of Nevada, co-authored the article titled, "Transnational Families in the COVID-19 Era: Health and Well-being of South Asian Older Parents with Adult Children Abroad". Using the backdrop of the global pandemic, globalization, and immigration, the paper focused on the health outcomes of older parents in transnational families. The study used autoethnographic data from the three authors to examine the cultural perception of care, sense of familism, care reciprocity, gendering of care, use of technology, and economic factors relevant to health and wellbeing in transnational families.
