Financial concerns and psychological distress among Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic: the moderating role of benefit finding and received pay
Our findings suggest that benefit finding and received pay combined may have important implications for interventions and policy-level changes targeting financial concerns among Asian Americans. Future research should explore the relationships between benefit finding and health outcomes over the life course, other protective coping responses for Asian Americans, and potential differences by Asian ethnicity or specific subgroups.
