项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The United States does not have sufficient science to mount an evidence-based response to combat the health detriments of present-day anti-Asian American (AA) hate. AA parents and children are struggling with a deeply troubling new sociopolitical context, a context with unprecedented levels of anti-Asian hate and violence fueled by references to COVID-19 as the “China virus.” Physical assaults against AAs skyrocketed by 145% in 2020 and have spiked to 164% in the first quarter of 2021. Among AA youth, 80% report being bullied or verbally harassed and 24% reported being shunned. Our evidence base for how racism impacts AA mental health under “normal” circumstances is insufficient and woefully inadequate. This R01 fills a critical gap in the science of how discrimination affects AA adolescent mental health, how adolescents respond to racial discrimination, and the agents involved in racial socialization processes involving AA adolescents. There are no longitudinal studies that investigate the effects of racial discrimination on AA adolescent mental health while also incorporating novel observational methods to determine how parents, peers, and social media are racial socializing AA adolescents. This project will follow 350 Chinese American adolescents (12-15 years), their Chinese heritage parent, and a peer to investigate the effects of discrimination experiences, discrimination responses, and racial socialization processes on adolescent mental health (depression, anxiety, suicidality) and on chronic stress (hair cortisol) over three timepoints. The long-term objective is to develop a biomedical evidence base focused on how parents, peers and social media can be leveraged to mitigate the negative health consequences of discrimination. Our multi-method approach (observation, survey, interview, biomarker) investigates the following aims: Aim 1. To assess how racial discrimination is associated with Chinese American adolescent (a) mental health (depression, anxiety, suicidality) and (b) biomarkers of chronic stress (hair cortisol) over three years. Aim 2. To determine how adolescent characteristics (internalization of the model minority myth, ethnic identity) moderate the association between discrimination and mental health/chronic stress. Aim 3. To (a) understand how parent characteristics (racial socialization, mental health, ethnic identity), moderate the association between adolescent discrimination and adolescent mental health/chronic stress (hair cortisol). We also consider “upwards socialization”; how adolescents are active agents in their own socialization and the socialization of those around them. Discrimination during adolescence has especially pernicious effects on concurrent and downstream adult health and understanding AA adolescent discrimination will help identify those at risk for problematic mental health. This study will inform urgently needed individual-, family- and peer-based interventions to address mental health for AA adolescents who are facing unprecedented risks to mental health at this time.

项目概要/摘要美国没有足够的科学依据来采取基于证据的应对措施来对抗健康当今反亚裔美国人 (AA) 的父母和孩子们正在与一种深深的仇恨作斗争。令人不安的新社会政治环境，反亚裔仇恨和暴力达到前所未有的水平 2020 年，针对 AA 的人身攻击猛增了 145% 2021 年第一季度飙升至 164%。在 AA 青少年中，80% 的人表示遭受过欺凌或言语攻击受到骚扰，24% 的人表示被回避。我们关于种族主义如何影响 AA 心理健康的证据基础。在“正常”情况下是不够的，而且严重不足。歧视如何影响 AA 青少年心理健康、青少年如何应对种族歧视、以及参与 AA 青少年种族社会化过程的代理人没有纵向关系。研究调查种族歧视对 AA 青少年心理健康的影响，同时也结合新颖的观察方法来确定父母、同龄人和社交媒体的种族差异该项目将跟踪 350 名华裔美国青少年（12-15 岁），以及他们的情况。华裔家长和同伴调查歧视经历、歧视的影响对青少年心理健康（抑郁、焦虑、自杀）的反应和种族社会化过程以及三个时间点的慢性压力（头发皮质醇）的长期目标是开发一种生物医学。证据基础侧重于如何利用父母、同龄人和社交媒体来减轻负面影响我们采用多种方法（观察、调查、访谈、生物标记）。调查以下目标：目标 1. 评估种族歧视与华人的关系美国青少年 (a) 心理健康（抑郁、焦虑、自杀）和 (b) 慢性压力的生物标志物（头发皮质醇）目标 2. 确定青春期特征（头发皮质醇的内化）。模范少数族裔神话、种族认同）调节歧视与心理之间的关联目标 3. (a) 了解父母的特征（种族社会化、心理健康、种族认同），调节青少年歧视与青少年心理之间的关联健康/慢性压力（头发皮质醇）。我们还考虑青少年如何活跃；青少年时期自己的社会化和周围人的社会化的影响因素。对并发和下游成人健康以及对 AA 的理解具有特别有害的影响青少年歧视将有助于识别那些面临心理健康问题的人。迫切需要基于个人、家庭和同伴的干预措施来解决 AA 青少年的心理健康问题他们此时面临着前所未有的心理健康风险。
