Background Despite high rates of mental health distress, Asian American emerging adults consistently underutilize traditional services. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) offer a promising alternative, yet the processes shaping their adoption among Asian American communities remain poorly understood. Prior work suggests that social networks play a key role in engagement with DMHIs. This study explores how social networks, cultural dynami…
Digital resilience and emotional upward spirals
Digital technologies have transformed the service sector, requiring sales professionals to engage with technology-mediated communication, learning and client outreach. Older sales professionals may face unique challenges in adapting to these changes, especially in health insurance, investment and healthcare industries. Guided by the Broaden-and-Build Theory, this study examines how older female sales professionals in Malaysia experience technolog…
Risk Factors for Elder Mistreatment Among Older Korean Americans
Using data from a sample of older Korean Americans ( n = 2,150), we examined the prevalence and associated factors of physical, emotional, and financial mistreatment. Given the importance of contextual factors, we examined the effect of immigration-related (years in the U.S. and acculturation) and interpersonal/community-related (family solidarity, social network, and ethnic community social cohesion) factors in addition to sociodemographic and h…
Impacts of Caregiving on Health of New Spousal Caregivers to Older Adults in the United States
Our results highlighted the needs to address mental health among new spousal caregivers and emphasized the importance of addressing mental health in long-term care programs and policies
Income Improves Subjective Well-Being
This paper estimates the causal impact of income on life satisfaction for a broad sample of individuals in a developing country. Using a large and representative panel survey of South African residents, we find that receipt of the Older Person’s Grant—a means-tested cash transfer that is given to residents age 60 and older regardless of labor force status—increases several household-level measures of economic well-being, resulting in a large and …
The Effect of Support From Secondary Caregiver Network on Primary Caregiver Burden
Our findings support the role of SCN in reducing primary caregiver burden and demonstrate that the benefit of SCN support varies across the 4 gender-race groups. The results indicate that it is imperative to further examine caregiving experience and protective mechanisms of SCN support using an intersectional perspective
Harnessing mobile technology to support type 2 diabetes self-management among Chinese and Hispanic immigrants
Immigrant populations are more likely to suffer a significant amount of distress caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) make T2DM self-care knowledge and tools more accessible, which holds promise to improve diabetes outcomes among immigrants. The social distancing protocol and concerns about virus spread in healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic further highlights the value of mobile tech…
Stability in a large drug treatment system
Internet Use and Loneliness of Older Adults Over Time
These findings imply that internet use may be an effective tool for reducing loneliness in older people by maintaining social contact
Health Awareness, Attitudes, and Behaviors Among Young-Adult Tutors in the Intergenerational Mobile Technology Opportunities Program in Taiwan
Objective: Health-risk behaviors (e.g., inadequate dietary choices, physical inactivity) predispose young adults to a greater risk for diabetes. This study examines young-adult tutors’ experience in a nonfamilial intergenerational program with older diabetic adults and the tutors’ perceptions of program benefits relative to promoting their own healthy behavior. Method: Using a qualitative purposive sampling method, we recruited 146 college studen…
Comparative Studies of Collaborative Team Depression Care Adoption in Safety Net Clinics
Purpose: To evaluate three approaches adopting collaborative depression care model in Los Angeles County safety net clinics with predominantly Latino type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: Pre–post differences in treatment rates and symptom reductions were compared between baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups for each approach: (a) Multifaceted Depression and Diabetes Program (MDDP) grant–hired social workers dedicated for depression care, (b) …
Integrating Biopsychosocial Intervention Research in a Changing Health Care Landscape
Objective: Safety net care systems are experiencing unprecedented change from the Affordable Care Act, Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) uptake, health information technology application, and growing of mental health care integration within primary care. This article provides a review of previous and current efforts in which social workers deliver biopsychosocial depression care. Method: Recent research trials tested biopsychosocial care for p…
Low-income minority patient engagement with automated telephonic depression assessment and impact on health outcomes
The study's patient engagement results and identified barriers would be useful to aid the design and implementation of future automated screening and monitoring systems to optimize patient engagement. The results also suggest that implementing a technology-supported care-management might not result in outcome disparities among patients with different levels of patient engagement
Systematic Review
Hiv Prevention Case Management Is Not Cost-Effective
The report “Get Connected: An HIV Prevention Case Management Program for Men and Women Leaving California Prisons”1 provides important data for assessing the cost-effectiveness of HIV-prevention case management. The authors state that HIV-negative individuals released from prison who completed their 10-week assessments after receiving an average of 39 case management hours reported an average increase in consistent condom use or abstinence from 3…
