Exploring community connections
Very little work has investigated built environment effects on loneliness. This study examined the relationship between neighborhood amenities and changes in loneliness among immigrants. Person-level cohort data were obtained from first-generation Chinese immigrants (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; baseline October 2018 – January 2020 and follow-up 3 years later, N = 346). Loneliness was assessed using the 3-item UCLA Loneliness Scale. Amenity locati…

Misrecognition and Well-being in Culturally White Northern New England☆
Rural America is undergoing a demographic transition, as the white population decline is matched by a growing movement of racialized minorities into small towns. In the current study, I examine processes of belonging among middle-class racialized minorities living in predominantly white and rural Northern New England. Through an analysis of in-depth interviews with n = 58 individuals of color, I show how 'misrecognition,' or the processes through…
Habits of Whiteness
As demographers and policy makers laud steps toward neighborhood integration, urban ethnographers remind us that diverse communities can perpetuate inequality if the dynamics that produce it are left unaddressed. This qualitative study focuses a cultural lens on social relationships in two stably diverse neighborhoods, mapping the connections between what the author terms “habits of whiteness” and dimensions of racial domination. One of the habit…

Spatial assimilation and its discontents
This study investigates the geographic and compositional dynamics of ethnic neighborhoods over time among the fastest growing racial group in California, Asian Americans. I conduct spatial analysis of Census data from 2000 and 2010 to represent changes in ethnic neighborhood boundaries and their associated structural and demographic characteristics. First, I document changing ethnic neighborhood patterns among four Asian national origin groups—Ch…
Multiethnic Neighborhoods on the Ground
As our nation and our neighborhoods increasingly diversify, we should understand how to sustain integrated communities that are equally beneficial for all residents. Though our policies encourage diversity as a theoretical social good, we actually know little about what happens on the ground in multiethnic neighborhoods. We conduct a comparative case study of the only two Boston neighborhoods to have maintained at least 10% representation of four…
Making Sense of Asian American Ethnic Neighborhoods
Research on Asian American ethnic neighborhoods lacks appreciation of the national-origin, nativity, and socioeconomic diversity within this racial group. Using the 2000 U.S. Census, this paper creates a novel theoretical typology based on these features of diversity to characterize ethnic neighborhoods ( N = 74) among Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans in California. Korean and Chinese American ethnic neighborhoods are bimodally…
Lifetime prevalence of mental disorders among Asian Americans
This study examines lifetime prevalence estimates of mental disorders among Asian Americans with a focus on differences by nativity, gender, and other relevant sociodemographic correlates. We analyze cross-sectional data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS), the first national epidemiological survey of Asian Americans which used a probability sample of household resident adults in the United States (N=2,095). US-born Asian Am…

Resurgent Ethnicity among Asian Americans
In this study I investigate the associations of neighborhood socioeconomic and social environments with the health of Asian Americans living in both Asian ethnic neighborhoods and non-Asian neighborhoods. I use a sample of 1962 Asian Americans from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS, 2003-04). Three key findings emerge. First, absolute levels of socioeconomic and social resources do not differ greatly between the Asian ethnic nei…
Contextualizing Acculturation
This article investigates differences in the mental health among male and female immigrants from an ecological perspective, testing the influences of both individual acculturation domains and social contexts. Data from the first nationally representative psychiatric survey of immigrant Asians in the US is used (N = 1,583). These data demonstrate the importance of understanding acculturation domains (e.g., individual differences in English profici…
Family Structure, Family Processes, and Well-Being Among Asian Americans
This article examines how facets of family structure and processes are linked to self-rated health and psychological distress in a national sample of Asian Americans. The authors find little support for well-established theories predicting the effects of family structure. Marital status does not affect self-rated health and has limited effects on psychological distress. The only effects of family composition are evident among men and the U.S.-bor…
Contextual Effects and Adolescent Substance Use
Objective. The purpose of this article is to explore the additive and moderating effects of neighborhood context on substance use among youth. Methods. Using a regional sample of adolescents and matching the data to Census tracts, we use hierarchical linear modeling to examine the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and neighborhood instability on alcohol and marijuana use while controlling for individual, family, and peer characterist…
Does Place of Education Matter? Contextualizing the Education and Health Status Association Among Asian Americans
The educational gradient in health is one of the most robust associations in social science research. Results of the current study indicate that, like the pattern observed among other racial and ethnic minority groups, the well-established educational gradient in health is attenuated among Asian Americans. We also show that the gradient association between educational attainment and self-rated health among Asian Americans depends on whether they …
Residential Segregation and Birth Weight among Racial and Ethnic Minorities in the United States
Racial and ethnic minorities are often residentially segregated from whites in urban settings, a fact which has important health consequences. Research on the relationship between residential segregation and health outcomes lacks national-level investigation of racial and ethnic minority groups other than African Americans. I use multilevel analyses to examine the associations of residential isolation and clustering with birth weight among Asian,…

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…
