Financial concerns and psychological distress among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: The potential buffering role of benefit finding, a cognitive and behavior adaptation process, in the relationship between financial concerns and psychological distress is not well understood among Asian American populations. Our study examined how financial concerns impacted Asian Americans' mental health, specifically in the presence of benefit finding and received pay during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Survey-weighted data fro…
Covid-19, Anti-Asian Discrimination and Stress
Overall and Avoidable Healthcare Utilization among Heterogeneous Hispanic/Latino Ethnic Groups with Cognitive Impairment in the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-Inca)
Lessons learned to improve engagement, recruitment and retention of multilingual communities
Many communities are oftentimes labeled as “hard to reach communities” by health researchers. Instead, what may be a more appropriate framing is that conventional research approaches are a mismatch for recruiting and retaining these understudied communities. This paper describes an inclusive research process with particular attention to engaging multilingual communities in the U.S. that we have developed while implementing a community-level nutri…
Acculturation and Health in Asian American Communities
To date, public health literature has treated acculturation as a static determinant of health in Asian American communities without offering actionable recommendations. Four limitations exist in current research: use of proxies for acculturation, focusing on cultural practices (not values and identity), not considering the context of reception for Asian American individuals in the receiving country, and ignoring time and digitalization. We recomm…
Making Oneself “Fit”
Psychological distress in Asian American informal caregivers
Disaggregating data reveals significant mental health disparities among ethnic subgroups of Asian American caregivers. Tailored resources should address the distinct needs of ethnic subgroups of Asian American caregivers, considering language barriers, acculturation, and cultural norms that may exacerbate psychological distress
Social Media Use and Misinformation Among Asian Americans During Covid-19
Social media has been crucial for seeking and communicating COVID-19 information. However, social media has also promulgated misinformation, which is particularly concerning among Asian Americans who may rely on in-language information and utilize social media platforms to connect to Asia-based networks. There is limited literature examining social media use for COVID-19 information and the subsequent impact of misinformation on health behaviors …
Covid-19 and Asian Americans
Introduction: Community-based organizations (CBOs) have provided critical resources during the pandemic, particularly for marginalized communities, and are trusted liaisons who connect socially and linguistically isolated community members, such as the highly diverse Asian American population, to care during public health emergencies. Stereotypes such as the model minority myth have permeated public perception of Asian Americans' health status an…
Socioeconomic Inequities in Vaccine Hesitancy Among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders
Immigration and the Life Course
Public health practitioners must consider how historical events and social factors contribute to the healthcare access and health of immigrant populations, as demographic shifts will require interventions that promote equitable healthy aging
Cardiovascular Disease and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Older Adults
Objectives: Assess the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (NH/PI) compared to white older adults. Methods: Data were from the 2011-2015 Health Outcomes Survey. HRQOL was assessed using the Veterans RAND 12-Item Survey, composed of physical (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS). Lower scores represent worse health. Multivariate r…
Functional Limitations and Physical Health in Community-Dwelling Medicare Advantage Beneficiaries
Objectives: The objective is to examine racial and ethnic heterogeneity in older adults' functional limitations and physical health. Methods: Data were from 2011 to 2015 Health Outcomes Survey of Medicare Advantage beneficiaries 65 and older ( N = 828,946). Outcomes were Physical Component Summary (PCS) scores and need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Six non-Hispanic racial groups and five Hispanic subgroups were analyzed. …
The Mutually Reinforcing Cycle Of Poor Data Quality And Racialized Stereotypes That Shapes Asian American Health
The Asian American health narrative reflects a long history of structural racism in the US and the complex interplay of racialized history, immigrant patterns, and policies regarding Asians in the US. Yet owing to systematic issues in data collection including missing or misclassified data for Asian Americans and practices that lead to indiscriminate grouping of unlike individuals (for example, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Bangladeshi) together in da…
The Impact of Structural Inequities on Older Asian Americans During Covid-19
Structural racism manifests as an historical and continued invisibility of Asian Americans, whose experiences of disparities and diverse needs are omitted in research, data, and policy. During the pandemic, this invisibility intersects with rising anti-Asian violence and other persistent structural inequities that contribute to higher COVID-19 mortality in older Asian Americans compared to non-Hispanic whites. This perspective describes how struc…
Immigrant Communities and Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the many broken fragments of US health care and social service systems, reinforcing extant health and socioeconomic inequities faced by structurally marginalized immigrant communities. Throughout the pandemic, even during the most critical period of rising cases in different epicenters, immigrants continued to work in high-risk-exposure environments while simultaneously having less access to health care and econo…
Trends in Clinical Research Including Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Participants Funded by the US National Institutes of Health, 1992 to 2018
Importance: Advancing the health equity agenda for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA/NHPI) individuals has become an intersecting priority for federal agencies. However, the impact of federal investments and legislation to ensure systematic processes and resources to eliminate health disparities in AA/NHPI populations is unclear. Objective: To perform a portfolio review of clinical research funded by the National Institute…
