This study was designed to determine the type and frequency of physical and psychological symptoms reported by pregnant and postpartal women and their husbands, and to determine the relationship between spouses' strength of identification and similarities in their reports of symptoms. The sample included 20 couples who resided in south-eastern Ontario, Canada who completed a checklist of 20 physical and three psychological symptoms. Findings indicated that wives and husbands experienced a variety of physical and psychological symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum. Although few symptoms were shared by spouses, the similarities in their reports were statistically significant. There was no evidence of a relationship between spouses' strength of identification and similarities in their symptom reports.

This has resulted in the neglect of STEM Asian American students' psychological needs by researchers and service providers while simultaneously pressuring the students to pursue unattainable goals.

"It was frightening because it could be my own grandparents": A qualitative study of vicarious exposure to anti-Asian racism.

Department of Medicine, Section of General Internal Medicine, University of Chicago.
Objective: From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a proliferation of anti-Asian racism. In addition to being personal targets of racism, members of the Asian American community have also been vicariously exposed to repeated news and social media stories about anti-Asian racism. Emerging research suggests that vicarious exposure to racism during the pandemic is associated with decreased well-being, although mechanisms of action are not yet clear.
