The Association Between Racial Microaggressions and Stereotypes and Self-Rated Mental Health in Asian Women
The impacts of microaggressions and the Model Minority Myth on self-rated mental health among Asian American (AA) women are unclear. A total of 152 AA women completed an online questionnaire including select items from the Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions Scale (REMS) and the Internalization of the Model Minority Myth Measure (IM-4). Logistic regression was used to estimate associations (odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals) between the REM…

The Relationship between Intimate Partner Violence and Suicidal Ideation among Young Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese American Women
