Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation reports three studies on mental health and service utilization among Asian Americans, using nationally representative data from National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). The first study reported in Chapter 2 examines the prevalence and pattern of past year mental health-related service use, including specialty mental health services, general health services, human or alternative services, and any type of mental health-related services, among Asian Americans. Guided by Andersen's health behavioral model, this study explores influencing factors to Asian Americans' use and choice of mental health services. Findings from this study indicate that Asian Americans significantly underuse mental health services and that they tend to choose specialty mental health services and human or alternative services when seeking treatments. Marital status, age at immigration, and past year psychiatric disorder are found significantly correlated to Asian Americans' use of each and any type of mental health services. Second study reported in Chapter 3 investigates the influence of immigration and perceived social status on lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorder occurrence among Asian immigrants. Results of the study suggest that Asian immigrants' age at immigration and perceived social status in the U.S. are significantly associated with lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorder occurrence. Respondents who immigrate to the U.S. during childhood and those who report lower perceived social status in the U.S. are more likely to experience lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorders. Chapter 4 reports a study on the impacts of family cohesion and family conflict to past year mental health-related service utilization among Asian Americans. Primary findings from the study suggest the critical role of family cohesion and family conflict in influencing Asian Americans' mental health service use. Specifically, family cohesion is found to have significant correlation to Asian Americans' receipt of general health services and any type of mental health-related services. Family conflict is found as a significant predictor to the use of each and any type of mental health-related services, except specialty mental health services. The final chapter, Chapter 5, concludes this dissertation by providing summary of findings, discussion of limitations, and implications pertinent to social work practice, policy, and research.

Book excerpt: Objective: This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the different themes of barriers that contribute to the underutilization of mental health services among Asian Americans living in the United States. Design: Systematic literature review. Methods: Nine databases were used to collect peer-reviewed articles to analyze mental health service utilization among Asian Americans. Inclusion criteria: (a) peer-reviewed articles that were published between 2001 and 2021; (b) studies that recognized the different barriers to mental health utilization among Asian Americans living in the United States; and (c) articles must be written and published in the English language. Results: Three main themes were identified as the barriers to the utilization of mental health services among Asian Americans, namely: (1) Cultural stigma, (2) different values and beliefs in the community, and (3) lack of knowledge regarding mental health services. Conclusion: Most findings reveal that the Asian American community responds to mental health issues depending on individual cultural beliefs. Although mental health services usage among Asian Americans is slowly increasing, it is essential to continue educating about mental health awareness, seeking professional services, and changing cultural perceptions.

Download or read book The Mental Health of Asian Americans written by Stanley Sue and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1982-10-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two objectives: to show that the research does not support the belief that Asians in the United States are well adjusted, and therefore, do not need mental health services; and, to show the effects of cultural differences between Americans and Asians in the recognition and treatment of mental health problems. The book has eight chapters which discuss the following subjects: why Asian Americans should be studied; patterns of disturbance and use of mental health services; cultural issues in recognizing symptoms and identifying disturbed persons; the Asian American family; personality, sex-role conflicts and ethnic identity; improving intervention and treatment; and future directions for Asian American mental health. In each chapter the author reviews and criticizes the research to date these subjects. The author's conclusions include: 1) the rate of mental disorders among Asian Americans has been underestimated; 2) the expression of symptoms is influenced by culture; and 3) the Asian American family has both positive and negative effects on mental health. While the author only briefly mentions the special problems of Asian American refugees, the mental health issues discussed in the book are applicable to all Asian American immigrants, including refugees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by the Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization, this study examined predisposing, enabling, and need factors affecting the use of mental health services, the number of visits to mental health service providers and dropouts from mental health services among Latinos and Asians residing in the United States. This is a secondary analysis utilizing data from the National Latino and Asian American Study. Seven hundred eighty-eight Latinos and 392 Asians with mental illness were included in this study. Logistic regression and OLS Multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results indicate that being younger, having health insurance, having self-perceived need for mental health services, having mental health service need perceived by others, and a greater number of probable psychiatric disorders were associated with the use of mental health services among Latinos with mental illness. Among Asians with mental illness, being younger and having self-perceived need for mental health services were related to the use of mental health services. Among both Latino and Asian mental health service users, having self-perceived need for mental health services was related to a greater number of visits to service providers in a 12 month period. Among Latino mental health service users, being younger, not having health insurance, and having a lower level of family cohesion were associated with dropouts from mental health services. Among Asian mental health service users, being younger, having better English proficiency, and a greater number of probable psychiatric disorders were related to dropouts from mental health services. The findings suggest that education is needed to help Latinos and Asians recognize the need for mental health services. In addition, policies are needed to make insurance available for Latinos and to help uninsured Latinos access mental health services.

Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health and utilization of services amongst Asian Americans remains low and underrepresented according to previous research. Using California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), secondary data analysis was used to further understand mental health status and utilization of mental health services amongst Asian-Americans in California. Specific ethnic subgroups of the study were Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Korean. Participants of the secondary data analysis identified as adults, ages 18 and up. The specific aims of the study were to understand overall mental health issues, if mental health had an influence on daily activities, and to know the insurance rate coverage for mental health treatment amongst Asian-Americans. Results of the study have found significant differences amongst ethnic subgroups for overall mental health issues as well as interference of mental health in daily activities. However, no statistical significance was found for insurance rate coverage for mental health treatment amongst subgroups. This study concludes with the need to further understand mental health in Asian-Americans and tailor programs to better suit the needs for utilization of services.
