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
Perceived discrimination and coping with substance use among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic
Asian Americans' AOD use for stress coping during the pandemic was prevalent. Perceived racial bias was associated with cannabis use, however other pandemic-induced stressors, not discriminatory in nature, were consistently associated with AOD use. Targeted research and policy efforts are warranted to address impacts from diverse stressors while tackling racism and substance use within Asian American communities to facilitate post-pandemic recove…
A conditional indirect effect model of racism and depressive and anxiety symptoms by ethnicity among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, leading to adverse mental and physical health outcomes in Asian American communities and a growing need to better understand the detrimental effects of racism. This study aims to understand whether the indirect relationship between facing discrimination and depressive and anxiety symptoms through perceived danger is conditional on Asian ethnicity. We used data from the Asian…
An exploratory study of resettled Rohingya refugees
Research suggests that preventive healthcare needs are high among U.S. refugees from Myanmar; yet no studies have examined healthcare patterns among U.S. Rohingya refugees. We examined participation in preventive cancer screening, healthcare access barriers, and facilitators in a community-based sample of 308 Rohingya refugees in Chicago, Illinois. Descriptives were conducted for the participation rates to preventive cancer screenings, indicated …
Discrimination and psychological distress among Asian Americans during Covid-19
3,508), we used logistic regression to examine the moderating role of different types of social support on the relationship between discrimination and psychological distress by gender. Among Asian Americans, facing discrimination was associated with higher odds of psychological distress, and receiving emotional support was associated with lower odds of psychological distress. When examining interactions between discrimination, social support, and…
Profiles of a Covid-19 Syndemic
Trends in Racial Discrimination Experiences for Asian Americans During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Building a home in Chicago
This study points to the importance of a more nuanced approach to integration, given within-group variability along integration dimensions. Community-level interventions should consider the diverse needs of refugees, particularly those of women and older adults. More research is needed to understand these experiences longitudinally and qualitatively. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

Applying culturalist methodologies to discern Covid‐19's impact on communities of color
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately impacted communities of color (CoC) amid increasing incidents of racial injustices and racism. In this article, we describe our culturalist methodologies for designing and implementing a multi-ethnic, interdisciplinary national needs assessment developed in partnership with CoC. Instead of a typical western-centric social science approach that typically ignores and perpetuate…
Internalization of the model minority myth and sociodemographic factors shaping Asians/Asian Americans' experiences of discrimination during Covid‐19
Despite appearing positive, the model minority myth (MMM), or the perception that Asian Americans are "problem-free" minorities, maintains unfair racial hierarchies and discredits the pervasiveness of systemic racism faced by Asian Americans and other Black, Indigenous, and people of Color. This study investigated the role of internalized MMM in Asian/Asian Americans' (A/AA) experiences during the syndemic of COVID-19 and our society's racial rec…

Home Smoking Bans and Urinary NNAL Levels to Measure Tobacco Smoke Exposure in Chinese American Household Pairs
Home smoking bans can reduce tobacco smoke exposure, but little is known about the impact for Chinese American household pairs. In this study of 202 household pairs with low acculturation, 53.9% reported a home smoking ban, 31.7% had inconsistent reports, and 14.4% reported no ban. With decreasing home smoking ban enforcement, more nonsmokers had tobacco smoke exposure (66.1%-86.2%) as measured by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine biomarker urine …
Laying the groundwork for participatory research with a Rohingya refugee community
Particularly for newly arrived refugee and immigrant communities, historical disenfranchisement and current stressors can impact how CBPR partnerships are developed and nurtured, thus, ongoing considerations of chronosystemic factors, attending to community-specific priorities while also connecting with other communities, and embracing multiple roles of academic researcher, advocate, and ally, can facilitate CBPR partnership development and futur…
Individual variations in stress response to racial microaggressions among Asian Americans
A Qualitative Study on Primary Care Integration into an Asian Immigrant-specific Behavioural Health Setting in the United States
Findings highlight the importance of patient involvement, peer services and interdisciplinary communication to successfully implement integrated care in the face of linguistic and operational challenges in settings serving multilingual and multicultural patients
Decreases in implicit self-esteem explain the racial impact of microaggressions among Asian Americans
Asian Americans are commonly perceived as perpetual foreigners and, therefore, not "true" Americans. Asian Americans report inquiries about nationality and English abilities as the most common forms of racial microaggressions perpetrated by White Americans (Sue, 2015). Race theorists assert that these microaggressions are race-related and marginalize Asian Americans. Scholars have claimed that these subtle acts are harmful, yet only a few studies…
Social Environmental Influences on Smoking and Cessation
The influence of psychological symptoms on mental health literacy of college students
Psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety, are common among college students, but few receive treatment for it. Mental health literacy may partially account for low rates of mental health treatment utilization. We report 2 studies that investigated mental health literacy among individuals with varying degrees of psychological symptoms, using cross-sectional online survey methodology. Study 1 involved 332 college students, of which 32…
Effects of Increased Psychiatric Treatment Contact and Acculturation on the Causal Beliefs of Chinese Immigrant Relatives of Individuals With Psychosis
Encounters with Western psychiatric treatment and acculturation may influence causal beliefs of psychiatric illness endorsed by Chinese immigrant relatives, thus affecting help-seeking. We examined causal beliefs held by forty-six Chinese immigrant relatives and found that greater acculturation was associated with an increased number of causal beliefs. Further, as Western psychiatric treatment and acculturation increased, causal models expanded t…
The What, the Why, and the How
Patterns of utilization and outcomes of inpatient psychiatric treatment in Asian Americans
Most of the knowledge of racial/ethnic disparities in mental health treatment utilization comes from studies examining outpatient services, and less is known about these disparities in inpatient services. This empirical gap may limit our understanding of these disparities since inpatient treatment is the most intensive form of specialty mental health care for patients with psychological disorders. We conducted a systematic chart review of 129 Asi…
Introduction to the special issue on disparities
This special issue focuses attention on physical and mental health disparities within the Asian American community and the work done by researchers and affiliates of the Asian American Center for Disparities Research (AACDR) to understand and alleviate these disparities. The collection of articles in this special issue covers a range of topics related to health disparities, such as psychotropic medication adherence, quality of life, occupational …
Bicultural self-efficacy among college students
Theory and empirical research suggest that perceived self-efficacy, or one's perceived ability to perform personally significant tasks, is related to individuals' psychological well-being and mental health. Thus, the authors hypothesized that bicultural individuals' perceived ability to function competently in 2 cultures, or perceived bicultural self-efficacy, would be related positively to their psychological well-being and mental health. Three …

Family emotion socialization and affective distress in Asian American and White American college students
This study examined the retrospective reports of family emotion socialization experiences and current affective distress among 23 Asian American and 31 White American university students with subclinical levels of distress. Results indicated that most of the Asian Americans interviewed recalled being socialized by their family to suppress their emotions, whereas more than half of White Americans recalled being encouraged by their families to open…
