This study examines the nature of helpful responses received and barriers to seeking help following the experience of intimate partner violence among women of Filipina, Indian, and Pakistani descent ( = 143) in the United States. Instead of aggregating women from diverse backgrounds, we investigated these groups of women separately. A content analysis found that while emotional support was the most helpful response, there were important variations by ethnicity and immigration position in the perceived helpfulness of various assistance resources as well as barriers to help-seeking. This study of disaggregated Asian immigrant groups enhances our understanding of both common and unique challenges faced by each immigrant group, which can inform development of socioculturally relevant intervention programs.

Background: National-level differences in myocardial infarction (MI) quality of care among Asian patients in the United States are unclear. We assessed the quality of MI care in the 6 largest US Asian ethnic groups.
Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with ST-segment-elevation MI or non-ST-segment-elevation MI in the Get With The Guidelines-Coronary Artery Disease registry (711 US hospitals, 2015-2021) were assessed.
Risk of contralateral breast cancer among Asian/Pacific Islander women in the United States.
Breast Cancer Res Treat
February 2024
Titus Family Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Southern California, 1985 Zonal Ave, Los Angeles, 90089, CA, USA.
Purpose: While breast cancer studies often aggregate Asian/Pacific Islander (API) women, as a single group or exclude them, this population is heterogeneous in terms of genetic background, environmental exposures, and health-related behaviors, potentially resulting in different cancer outcomes. Our purpose was to evaluate risks of contralateral breast cancer (CBC) among subgroups of API women with breast cancer.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women ages 18 + years diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer between 2000 and 2016 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registries.
Diabetes-Related Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality in Asian American Subgroups.
JACC Asia
June 2023
Center for Asian Health Research and Education, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.
Background: Asian Americans experience heterogeneity in cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease, with a particularly high burden of diabetes in several Asian subgroups.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to quantify diabetes-related mortality in Asian American subgroups and compare this with Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White individuals.
Methods: Using national-level vital statistics data and concurrent population estimates, age-standardized mortality rates and proportional mortality from diabetes-related mortality were calculated for non-Hispanic Asian (and subgroups: Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese), Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White populations in the United States, 2018-2021.
Trends in De Novo Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Among Asian and Hispanic Population Subgroups in the United States, 2011 to 2019.

July 2022
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.
Importance: De novo hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with adverse maternal and offspring outcomes. Heterogeneity among racial and ethnic subgroups may be masked with aggregate reporting of race and ethnicity, such as Asian or Pacific Islander or Hispanic.
Objective: To determine patterns in de novo HDP rates among individuals in Asian and Hispanic subgroups with a first live birth in the United States in the period 2011 through 2019.
