Abstract

Asian Americans, currently the most rapidly expanding racial group in the USA, are experiencing persistent mental health inequities. These inequities are particularly pronounced during adolescence, highlighting the critical need for dedicated focus on this demographic. Social support is a key shield against mental distress among these adolescents, yet little research has examined the collective impact of multiple sources of support over time, across developmental stages, and for different ethnic subgroups. Drawing on the integrated conceptual framework, this longitudinal study is the first to our knowledge to examine how support from families, religious organizations, and schools together predicts mental health over time across adolescents' developmental stages. We further examined how these relationships may be moderated by age groups, distinguishing between the early adolescence cohort and the middle adolescence cohort. Data were from the Midwest Longitudinal Study of Asian American Families (MLSAAF) project that survey-interviewed 378 Filipino American and 408 Korean American adolescents (Mage = 15 years). Findings reveal that family support consistently buffers against mental distress throughout adolescence for both groups. Religious support distinctly aids Filipino American early adolescents, while school support notably benefits early adolescents regardless of ethnicity. These findings emphasize the universal protective effects of social support, while also highlighting the nuanced ways that developmental stage and ethnicity may influence how different sources of support impact mental health. This underscores the need for developmentally and culturally sensitive mental health strategies for Asian American adolescents.

家庭、宗教和学校支持对菲律宾裔和韩裔美国青少年青春期心理健康的纵向影响》(The Longitudinal Impact of Family, Religious, and School Support on the Mental Health of Filipino and Korean American Youth Across Adolescence)。
亚裔美国人是目前美国人口增长最迅速的种族群体,但他们的心理健康却长期处于不平等状态。这些不平等现象在青少年时期尤为明显,这也凸显了对这一人群进行专门关注的迫切需要。在这些青少年中,社会支持是抵御心理困扰的重要屏障,但很少有研究对不同时期、不同发展阶段以及不同种族亚群的多种支持来源的集体影响进行研究。根据综合概念框架,这项纵向研究是我们所知的第一项研究,它考察了家庭、宗教组织和学校的支持如何共同预测青少年在不同成长阶段的心理健康。我们还进一步研究了这些关系如何受到年龄组的调节,并区分了青春期早期组群和青春期中期组群。数据来自中西部亚裔美国人家庭纵向研究(MLSAAF)项目,该项目调查访问了 378 名菲律宾裔美国青少年和 408 名韩裔美国青少年(年龄 = 15 岁)。研究结果表明,家庭的支持对这两个群体的青少年在整个青春期的精神压力都有持续的缓冲作用。宗教支持对菲律宾裔美国青少年有明显的帮助,而学校支持对不同种族的青少年都有显著的益处。这些发现强调了社会支持的普遍保护作用,同时也强调了发展阶段和种族可能对不同支持来源影响心理健康的细微方式。这强调了针对亚裔青少年的发展和文化敏感性心理健康策略的必要性。

期刊介绍: Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
