Asian American social workers’ experiences and perspectives on anti-Asian hate
The rise in anti-Asian hate since the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the challenges that Asian Americans in the United States (U.S.) experience with xenophobia, racism, and the “model-minority stereotype.” The model-minority stereotype is a misleading myth that has been pervasively attached to the Asian American identity and experiences. Thus, it can serve as a useful framework to understand experiences in the current anti-Asian hate climate. In t…
Work and self-rated memory among native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander older adults
The study's results suggest that work characteristics and opportunities to engage in work are important considerations in preventing memory problems in later life. As the NHPI population experiences cognitive health disparities earlier than other groups, timely interventions that focus on work engagement and a culturally relevant environment require further investigation
Anti-Asian Hate’s Impact on Asian American Social Workers
This article explores the impact of recent incidents of anti-Asian hate and violence against Asian American social workers, clients, and communities. Asian Americans represent a small but growing proportion of the U.S. population. Yet, Asians are underrepresented in the social work profession-approximately 3.6 percent of the social work workforce and 2.1 percent of licensed social workers are Asian, and data on underrepresented racial and ethnic …
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among children of immigrants
Using a nationally representative sample of children, we find that the likelihood of having ADHD increases with higher generations, detecting differences in ADHD prevalence by immigration generation. Importantly, first-generation children had a significantly lower risk of having ADHD conditions compared to second-generation children and children of US-born parents, regardless of family socio-economic status. Public health policy and program devel…
Factors Associated with Mental Health Help-Seeking Among Asian Americans
Preventive Care and Outcomes of Interprofessional Medicare Annual Wellness Visits for Older Adults
As we anticipate a growing population of older adults, we will see an increase in chronic conditions such as dementia and falls. To meet these public health needs, we must systematically provide screening, education, preventive care, and supportive care for older patients and their caregivers in a primary care setting. This will require a workforce trained in providing for the complex medical and psychosocial needs of an older adult population in…
Emerging disparities of the Covid-19 pandemic among older adults in rural Hawai‘i
Kupuna (older adults in the Hawaiian language) in Hawai'i experience unique challenges related to health disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic The case of Hawai'i can provide insights into the understanding of health interventions for other remote communities Developing culturally sensitive interventions for diverse communities can result in an effective health response during the pandemic and beyond In this letter, we identify the vulnerable …

Physical Activity and Health Among Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander Older Adults
Objectives: Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI) older adults often experience social disadvantages and poor health outcomes. Physical activity has been associated with better health in other racial groups, but limited studies have examined these associations in NHPI older adults. Methods: Using data from the 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey ( n = 1,045), logistic regression models examined a…
Multifaceted Demands of Work and Cognitive Functioning
The results partially support the environmental complexity hypothesis and the productive aging framework in that higher mental and social demands and lower physical demands relate to better cognitive functioning at baseline, with the differences appearing stable throughout older adulthood. The stratified results shed light on addressing disparities in cognitive aging and work environments
Caregiving and Care Sharing
With changes in family structure and diversity among older adults, caregiving has to be considered from a greater societal level. Informal caregivers are unpaid individuals who provide care for family or friends, whereas formal caregivers are paid for their services, often at care facilities (Family Caregiver Alliance [FCA], 2016). Approximately 40 million Americans provide care for older adults age 50 and older, and 60 percent of the caregivers …
