The Subtle Burden: Everyday Discrimination and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Self-Rated Health and Happiness in the United States
Global burden of schizophrenia in 204 countries and regions from 1990 to 2021 and machine learning-based projections to 2036: An analysis of the 2021 global burden of disease study
Our research indicates that the ASIR, ASPR, and ASDR of schizophrenia exhibit significant correlations with gender, socio-demographic index (SDI) and regions. From 2022 to 2036, while the global ASIR of schizophrenia may decline, both the ASPR and ASDR are projected to rise. The escalating disease burden of schizophrenia poses a significant challenge for countries across all development levels
Market Transition, Multidimensional Socioeconomic Status, and Health Disparities in Urban China
Synthesizing the theory of fundamental causes in the health literature with the stratification research on transitional economies, this paper investigates how the multidimensional socioeconomic status (SES), especially education and communist party membership, is associated with three self-rated health outcomes in urban China. Using data from the 2013 Chinese General Social Survey, we find that party membership is associated with better self-rate…
Linear trend or graded association: An international study of objective and subjective socioeconomic inequalities in self-rated health
Despite the well-documented socioeconomic inequalities in health, it is less known about how objective and subjective socioeconomic statuses (SES) are related to self-rated health (SRH) in an international context. Using data from the 2007 International Social Survey Program (ISSP) that included 33 countries across six continents (N = 40,049), we found that for objective SES, either education or income, or both were related to SRH as general line…
Individual and contextual correlates of cardiovascular diseases among adults in the United States: A geospatial and multilevel analysis
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Perceptions of Everyday Discrimination
This study examines differences in perceptions of discrimination across multiple racial and ethnic minority groups. We focus on structural factors such as race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) and psychosocial factors such as racial/ethnic identities as predictors of perceived everyday discrimination. Data come from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES), and analyses reveal several important patterns. First, perceived …
Psychosocial work characteristics of personal care and service occupations: A process for developing meaningful measures for a multiethnic workforce
This complex process is necessary when conducting research with nontraditional and multilingual worker populations
Using the Associative Imagery Technique in Qualitative Health Research: The Experiences of Homecare Workers and Consumers
The associative imagery technique is a qualitative tool with which researchers use carefully selected photographs or images to trigger participants' responses to explain difficult behavioral and social concepts. In this article, we describe the development and implementation of the associative imagery method in focus groups to understand the complex relationships between homecare workers and their clients as part of a larger health and safety int…
A life course perspective on migration and mental health among Asian immigrants: The role of human agency
Seeking excellence in the move to a mass system: Institutional responses of key Chinese comprehensive universities
What does "occupation" represent as an indicator of socioeconomic status: Exploring occupational prestige and health
The Role for Community-Based Participatory Research in Formulating Policy Initiatives: Promoting Safety and Health for In-Home Care Workers and Their Consumers
Although community-based participatory research (CBPR) can be effective in influencing policy, the process of formulating policy initiatives through CBPR is understudied. We describe a case study to illustrate how alliances among various community partners could be united to formulate policy directions. In collaboration with partners, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health initiated a project aimed at improving health and safet…

Immigration-Related Factors and Mental Disorders Among Asian Americans
Objectives. We examined lifetime and 12-month rates of any depressive, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders in a national sample of Asian Americans. We focused on factors related to nativity and immigration as possible correlates of mental disorders. Methods. Data were derived from the National Latino and Asian American Study, the first national epidemiological survey of Asian Americans in the United States. Results. The relationships between i…
Women's Work, Cohort Change, and Health
Rapid changes in women's labor force participation, access to good jobs, and changing work-family pressures have altered the landscape of work and family life. We use logit negative binomial hurdle models to examine whether these countervailing trends have affected the physical health of women across four birth cohorts. Longitudinal data are used to compare successive cohorts of U.S. women when they are between the ages 44 and 50. While the healt…
Religiosity, spirituality, and help‐seeking among Filipino Americans: Religious clergy or mental health professionals
Data from structured interviews with 2,285 respondents for the Filipino American Community Epidemiological Survey (FACES) were used to examine help‐seeking for emotional distress among Filipino Americans. The influence of religious affiliation, religiosity, and spirituality upon help‐seeking from religious clergy and mental health professionals was assessed after controlling for need (e.g., negative life events, SCL‐90R scores, and somatic sympto…
Helpseeking behavior among Filipino Americans: A cultural analysis of face and language
In this study we explore the existing research on Asian Americans and helpseeking behavior, focusing primarily on Filipino Americans and the cultural variables of face and language. Although some important and specific cultural factors have been hypothesized to affect the helpseeking behaviors of ethnic minorities, very few empirical studies have been conducted to specifically test these hypotheses. To fill the gaps in previous research, we exami…
Cultural Expressions of Distress
We test whether acculturation to American society is linked to higher depressive symptoms but lower neurasthenia symptoms. Depression and neurasthenia represent compelling contrasts since the first is a prevalent mental health problem in the United States and the latter is a common diagnostic entity in China. We also examine whether financial stress interacts with acculturation to explain depressive and neurasthenia symptoms. Data come from a com…
