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.

Book Synopsis Understanding Underutilization of Mental Health Services by Asian Americans by : Molly Zhoumo Wang
Download or read book Understanding Underutilization of Mental Health Services by Asian Americans written by Molly Zhoumo Wang and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well documented that Asian Americans exhibit the lowest utilization rates of mental health services compared to the general population. Despite the infrequent use of mental health services, the Asian American community demonstrates a need for such services. The majority of research on Asian Americans and mental health have primarily focused on identifying cultural factors associated with underuse, but limited research exists to explain how culture affects mental health and the ways in which culture influences the process of illness. This review examines culture's dynamic influence on the development, progression, and treatment of mental illness for Asian Americans and recommends strategies to improve outreach and delivery of services.

Book Synopsis Mental Health and Service Utilization Among Asian Americans by : Xiaochuan Wang
Download or read book Mental Health and Service Utilization Among Asian Americans written by Xiaochuan Wang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 298 pages. 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 Synopsis Help-seeking Among Asian American and White American Individuals in Psychological Distress by : Jin Elle Kim
Download or read book Help-seeking Among Asian American and White American Individuals in Psychological Distress written by Jin Elle Kim and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most individuals in psychological distress do not seek and receive mental health services, underutilization of services continues to be the major mental health disparity affecting certain racial/ethnic minority populations, such as Asian Americans (Sue, Cheng, Saad, & Chu, 2012). Unfortunately, this problem has persisted over the past few decades, and there is limited theoretical understanding of why this occurs. The goal of the current study was to apply a social psychological theoretical framework--the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock, 1966)--to understand why people in distress do not seek help, and moreover, why this problem is especially pronounced among Asian Americans. This study examined how levels of functioning, perceived susceptibility to mental health problems, perceived benefits of treatment, and perceived barriers to treatment influenced intentions to seek help among a sample of 395 Asian American and 261 White American individuals experiencing elevated levels of psychological distress. Analyses using structural equation modeling indicated that perceived benefits partially explained why Asian Americans had lower intentions to seek help relative to White Americans. For Asian Americans, functioning was negatively related to help-seeking, but this effect was not present for White Americans. As this study is one of few studies to concurrently assess barriers and facilitators of help-seeking among those experiencing current psychological distress, clinical implications of these results are discussed.
Book Synopsis Asian American and Pacific Islander Children and Mental Health by : Frederick T. Leong
Download or read book Asian American and Pacific Islander Children and Mental Health written by Frederick T. Leong and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-of-its-kind, two-volume set examines physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that undermine—or support—healthy development in Asian American children. How do skin color, culture, racial and ethnic identities, politics, economics, and environment influence children's mental health and academic success? Asian American and Pacific Islander Children and Mental Health spotlights these forces and more. This unique, two-volume work examines a wide range of factors that affect children, including family conditions and economic status, child abuse, substance abuse, gangs, and community stability, as well as prejudices such as the common expectation that Asian Americans are a "model minority" and their children "whiz kids." Since education is key to success, contributors consider the factors affecting Asian American children largely in the context of educational readiness and academic adjustment. However, the set is not limited to exploring problems. It also looks at factors that help Asian American children be mentally healthy, engaged, and successful at school and in later life. Volume one of the set explores development and context, while volume two looks at prevention and treatment.

This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.
Book Synopsis Decreasing Public Stigma Among Asian Americans Through Ethnic Match by : Shanna Kim
Download or read book Decreasing Public Stigma Among Asian Americans Through Ethnic Match written by Shanna Kim and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluating the effectiveness of mental health interventions must be expanded to address the underutilization of mental health services among Asian Americans due to stigma. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a media-outreach intervention and the notion of ethnic match in relationship to reducing public stigma among Asian Americans. The outreach prevention resource, the video "Overcoming Adversity: Stories of Hope and Courage," created by Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI), aspires to reduce stigma by sharing experiences of mental illness specific to Asian Americans. Analyses showed that public stigma was lower after watching the video intervention, suggesting that the intervention may be effective in reducing public stigma. AACI' s outreach intervention integrates the notion of ethnic match, as participants watch individuals of similar or the same ethnic background speak about their experiences with mental illness. Results showed no statistical significance between participants' perceived ethnic identification with a consumer in the video and change in public stigma, suggesting that the video may be effective as a general Asian American outreach intervention without a need for specific Asian subgroup match. Second, multiple regression suggested that age and ethnicity did not moderate change in public stigma whereas lower acculturation was a statistically significant predictor of greater change in public stigma. Results of the study suggest that a media-outreach intervention may be effective in reducing public stigma among Asian Americans, particularly for those who are born outside of the U.S
Book Synopsis Mental Health Needs of Asian Americans and Implications for Best Practice Guidelines at Biola University Counseling Center by : Eunice Kim Song
Download or read book Mental Health Needs of Asian Americans and Implications for Best Practice Guidelines at Biola University Counseling Center written by Eunice Kim Song and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are perceived to have few psychological problems and seem to adjust well in society. However, review of research literature shows that Asian Americans do suffer from mental illness but underutilize mental health services due to cultural perceptions of mental health, levels of acculturation/ enculturation, fear of stigma and shame, and experiences with mental health services. Severity and high rates of mental health disorders are also associated with this population. A case study of the Asian American population at Biola University found similar patterns of underutilization and mental health severity. Based on literature reviewed, recommendations are made to effectively serve and support the mental health needs of Asian American university students at the Biola University Counseling Center.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The authors are to be commended for a book which should be very helpful for mental health professionals taking care of South Asian patients. The book uses case histories to illustrate a range of issues, which may come up in the treatment of this ethno-cultural group. The cases cut across genders, age groups, socioeconomic groups, diagnostic categories, and other clinical matters pertaining to abuse and domestic violence among South Asians born in South Asia and in the United States. The cases illustrate issues related to immigration, acculturation, stigma, access to care, and familial and intergenerational problems. The cases make teaching points about the impact of culture on clinical presentation and treatment, focusing on how culture and religion can be both a hindrance and an asset. The authors describe how to use cultural understanding in diagnosis and treatment” (Iqbal Ahmed MD, FRCPsych, UK).
