Article Synopsis
- - Asian Americans, the fastest-growing racial group in the U.S., face ongoing mental health disparities, especially during their teenage years, necessitating targeted research and interventions for this demographic.
- - This study is the first longitudinal analysis focusing on how support from family, religious organizations, and schools influences mental health over time and varies by developmental stage and ethnicity among Filipino and Korean American adolescents.
