Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discrepancy between mental health needs and service use has been particularly pronounced in Asian Americans. Given the negative consequences of untreated mental health problems, ways to promote their mental health service use deserve attention. Using Andersen’s behavioral model as a conceptual framework, the study explored factors associated with willingness to seek professional mental health service across ethnic-subgroups of Asian Americans. The data were drawn from the 2002 National Latino and Asian American Study. Asian Americans aged 18 over (total n=2,095) were included in the analyses with Chinese (n=600), Vietnamese (n=520), Filipino (n=508), and other Asians (n=467). Logistic regression models were conducted with sets of predictors: (1) predisposing (age, gender, marital status, education, and nativity), (2) mental health needs (diagnosis of psychiatric disorders), (3) enabling variables (health insurance, English proficiency, perceived stigma, social network, and prior exposure of mental health services), and (4) an interaction term between mental health needs and enabling variables. Mental health needs reduced the odds of having willingness to seek service in the sample of Chinese Americans. Vietnamese Americans with no perceived stigma were more likely to be willing to seek professional service. A significant interaction between mental health needs and social network was found in the Vietnamese sample. The linkage between the presence of mental health needs and willingness to seek service in the Vietnamese sample was less likely when they had higher level of social network. Findings highlight similarities and differences between and within subgroups of Asian Americans in the predictors of willingness to seek professional service. The insignificant or negative relationship between mental health needs and willingness may suggest the lack of recognition of mental health problems in Asian Americans. Social network is generally considered as a facilitator for help-seeking behavior, but the combined effect of the presence of mental health needs and higher level of social network may potentially impede Vietnamese Americans from seeking professional service. The distinctive culture of Asian Americans being a collectivistic group needs to be incorporated when developing intervention programs

Download or read book Predictors of Early Termination from Mental Health Treatment by Vietnamese Clients at an Ethnic specific Clinic written by Kyle Philip Warmack and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnamese Americans have had a very short history in the United States. Most came as refugees from a war-torn Vietnam and encountered traumatic experiences that resulted in mental health problems. However, research has indicated that Asian Americans are underrepresented in mental health treatment. To understand this, researchers have identified numerous predictors that are associated with termination across ethnic groups. Yet, little research has focused on the association between specific Asian ethnic groups and early termination. The current study investigated the contributions of predictor variables on treatment outcome by Vietnamese clients. The participant sample included 122 Vietnamese clients who sought counseling from 2004 to 2011 at an ethnic-specific clinic. A logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between treatment outcome (complete vs. incomplete) and independent predictor variables. Results indicated that yearly household income (OR: 1.693) was a significant predictor of treatment completion. Implications of the study were also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study is a literature review that examined the stigma that is associated with mental illness in relation to help-seeking behavior among older Vietnamese adults. The following inclusion criteria were used: 1) participants who were 65 years and older and identified as Vietnamese; 2) U.S. population; 3) intervention studies; 4) reviews; 5) empirical studies; and 6) book chapters published from 2005 through 2012. PsychINFO and Google Scholar search engines identified seven survey studies, one review, and one book chapter. The results from the review indicated that acculturation factors and cultural variables were significantly associated with more positive help-seeking attitudes about mental health services. Higher occupation levels and better English language skills were correlated with positive help-seeking attitudes. Greater willingness to disclose personal information and priority on mental health concerns were associated with an increased likelihood of mental health service use. Inconsistent findings on the role of stigma and cultural barriers in relation to mental health utilization were also found, suggesting the need for more intervention studies that closely examine the construct of stigma. Taken altogether, the findings suggest a lack of culturally competent mental health interventions and a need for more research that is focused on factors that enhance mental health functioning among older Vietnamese Americans.

Book excerpt: Stigma is a major barrier to seeking help for mental health issues among members of the Asian community. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effectiveness of a 12- minute video intervention, “Overcoming Adversity: Stories of Hope and Courage,” on reducing the self-stigma towards seeking help and increasing willingness to seek mental health treatment among those in the Asian community. The video, created by Asian Americans for Community Involvement, featured members of various Asian subgroups, age groups, and socio-economic status to promote self-identification and ethnic match. Seventy-nine community participants over the age of 18 who identified as Asian or Asian American living in the San Francisco Bay Area participated in the study by watching the video and completing pre- and post-video questionnaires. Results support the hypothesis that the video intervention is effective in decreasing participants’ self-stigma towards mental health treatment. As compared to their pre-intervention levels, participants were more likely to seek professional help for themselves as well as recommend someone close to them to seek mental health treatment. Qualitative feedback from participants established that the video was helpful with increasing understanding of mental illness and mental health professionals along with raising awareness of mental health problems. In addition, ethnic match was not found to be a predicting factor. Nevertheless, after controlling for age and acculturation, perceived similarity in self-identity was found to be a statistically significant predictor. Multiple regression analyses indicate that age and acculturation were not found to be predictors impacting change in self-stigma towards help-seeking. In sum, the current study contributes to the literature of effective interventions to counter the stigma of mental illness by establishing that video interventions can be a cost effective intervention to increase awareness about mental illness and likelihood of seeking help by the Asian American community.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help for Asian, African, Latino, and White Americans. Help-seeking attitudes were examined as two separate constructs, approach and avoidance attitudes, and served as the main dependent variables. The relationship of age, gender, ethnicity, previous mental health use, sense of coherence, level of perceived stress, and problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies to approach and avoidance help-seeking attitudes were examined. Results showed that age, previous personal and indirect experience with mental health services and problem-focused coping were positively related to approach attitudes; women reported higher approach attitudes than men, and Latinos reported higher approach attitudes than Asian and White Americans. Results also showed that age, previous personal experience with mental health services, sense of coherence, and problem-focused coping were negatively related, but emotion-focused coping was positively related to avoidance attitudes; men reported higher avoidance attitudes than women, and Asian and African Americans reported higher avoidance attitudes than Latinos and White Americans. Previous personal experience with mental health services was the strongest predictor of approach attitudes, while emotion-focused coping was the strongest predictor of avoidance attitudes.
