Coping and Post-traumatic Stress after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita: Racial Disparities in Social Work Student-Practitioners
Recent hurricanes have focused on lives and properties lost, however, additional mental health concerns may emerge in these post-disaster settings. Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are particularly problematic for minorities due to pre-disaster disparities. Scholars must thus examine the antecedents of PTSS to support these and other vulnerable individuals and communities. This study examined racial disparities regarding active and avoidant …
Differential Associations of Religious Involvement with the Mental Health of Asian-American Subgroups: A Cultural Perspective
Religious attendance and major depression among Asian Americans from a national database: The mediation of social support
Religious involvement has been shown to serve a protective role regarding mental health for African and European Americans, but little research has examined its role in Asian Americans. We addressed the gap using the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) database, the first national epidemiological household survey of Asian Americans in the United States. We examined the effect of religious involvement on major depression among Asian A…
Detrimental Effects of Discrimination on Mental Health in Asian Americans: Counteracting Roles of Religious Involvement
Few studies have examined the role of religious involvement as a potential protective factor in the mental health of Asian Americans. Using the first national sample from the National Latino and Asian American Study (2002–2003), this study explored the direct effect of religious attendance on the diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder and self-rated mental health in Asian Americans (n = 2,095), above and beyond that of discrimination and accul…
Overall Health and Healthcare Utilization Among Latino American Women in the United States
Patterns of overall health issues varied among Latino American subgroup women, yet they have low rates of healthcare use. It is critical to further examine factors associated with the sex-specific health issues and with their health services underuse
Positive traits versus previous trauma: Racially different correlates with PTSD symptoms among hurricane katrina‐rita volunteers
This study compared risks and protective factors for acquiring symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) between African‐American ( n =299) and European‐American ( n =206) student volunteers 3 months after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (H‐KR). Respondents retrospectively provided information on peritraumatic emotional reactions and previous trauma that were recalled by H‐KR and H‐KR stressors. African‐American respondents reported higher lev…
Pathways to Postoperative Hostility in Cardiac Patients: Mediation of Coping, Spiritual Struggle and Interleukin-6
Using structural equation modeling, we estimated major pathways from preoperative distress, indicated by anxiety and other factors, to postoperative hostility in cardiac patients. Sequential interviews were conducted before and after surgery. Standardized medical and surgical indices were selected from a national database. Results showed that preoperative spiritual struggle mediated indirect effects of anxiety and anger coping on Interleukin-6 (I…
Use of Mental Health–Related Services Among Immigrant and US-Born Asian Americans: Results From the National Latino and Asian American Study
Objectives. We examined rates of mental health–related service use (i.e., any, general medical, and specialty mental health services) as well as subjective satisfaction with and perceived helpfulness of care in a national sample of Asian Americans, with a particular focus on immigration-related factors. Methods. Data were derived from the National Latino and Asian American Study (2002–2003). Results. About 8.6% of the total sample (n=2095) sought…
