Effects of Perceived Discrimination and Length of Residency on the Health of Foreign-Born Populations.

This study explores the relationship between chronic conditions, perceived discrimination, and length of residency among three racial groups of foreign-born respondents: Afro-Caribbean, Asian, and Latino Americans. Analysis utilized Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES) merged data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) and the National Survey of American Life (NSAL). Afro-Caribbean subgroups were more likely than Asian and Latino American subgroups to report perceived discrimination.

Racial bullying and adolescent substance use: An examination of school-attending young adolescents in the United States.

This article examines the association between race and racial bullying (bullying due to one's race), in relation to youth substance use in school attending young adolescents in the United States. Weighted unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were run to assess if racial bullying involvement was associated with youth substance use. Data for this study come from the Health Behaviors in School-Aged Children survey (n = 7,585).

Disaggregating race and ethnicity in chronic health conditions: implications for public health social work.

This study examines the ethnic subgroup variation in chronic health by comparing self-reports of chronic conditions across diverse ethnic subgroups of Asian American (Vietnamese, Filipino, Chinese), Latino American (Cuban, Portuguese, Mexican), and African Caribbean (Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian/Tobagonian) respondents. This analysis utilizes linked data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES). Logistic regression revealed significant subgroup differences in reports of chronic respiratory, cardiovascular, and pain conditions across nine ethnic subgroups masked by racial categorization.

Perceived discrimination and chronic health in adults from nine ethnic subgroups in the USA.

Objective: This comparative analysis examines the association between chronic cardiovascular, respiratory and pain conditions, race, ethnicity, nativity, length of residency, and perceived discrimination among three racial and nine ethnic subgroups of Asian Americans (Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese), Latino-American (Cuban, Portuguese, and Mexican), and Afro-Caribbean American (Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian/Tobagonian) respondents.

Design: Analysis used weighted Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys-merged data from the National Latino and Asian American Study and the National Survey of American Life. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine which groups within the model were more likely to report perceived discrimination effects.

Nativity differences in chronic health conditions between nationally representative samples of Asian American, Latino American, and Afro-Caribbean American respondents.

Immigrants on average have better health than native-born residents. However, no clear understanding of prevalence of chronic conditions across foreign-born groups exists, and few studies include Afro-Caribbean populations. This study utilizes the National Latino and Asian American Study and the National Survey of American Life to investigate nativity differences in reports of chronic cardiovascular, respiratory, and pain conditions between foreign-born (n = 3,579) and native-born (n = 1,409) respondents.
