COVID-19-Related and general racial discrimination and mental health in Asian Americans
The study found that a notable proportion of AA respondents reported experiencing both COVID-19-related and general racial discrimination, and highlights the potential adverse impact of racial discrimination on AA mental health. These findings underscore the importance of examining and reducing anti-Asian discrimination experiences to improve the mental health and well-being of AA populations.
