Journal Article
Self-reported racial or ethnic discrimination in a health care setting has been linked to worse health outcomes and not having a usual source of care, but has been rarely examined among Asian ethnic subgroups. Authors examined the association between Asian ethnic subgroup and self-reported discrimination in a healthcare setting, and whether both factors were associated with not having a usual source of care.

Journal Article
Understanding how perceived discrimination affects Asian Americans can help stakeholders target subgroups that are at highest risk of discrimination-related behaviors and design culturally appropriate interventions to ensure equitable access to healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed longstanding anti-Asian racism in the U.S. Yet, effects of discrimination on Asian American health are unknown, partly because diverse Asian American populations are analyzed in aggregate.

Journal Article
Although immigrants are healthier than non-immigrants on numerous outcomes, the reverse appears to be true with regards to food insecurity. Most studies ignore heterogeneity in the risk for food insecurity within immigration status and by ethnicity, even though significant variation likely exists. Authors consider how immigration status and ethnicity are related to trends in food insecurity among Latinos and Asians in California from 2001 through 2011.

Journal Article
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention tool for populations at highest risk for HIV infection. Current US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for identifying PrEP candidates may not be specific enough to identify gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) at the highest risk for HIV infection.

Journal Article
Authors evaluated the variation among and representativeness of controls identified using multiple methods for a population-based case-control study of breast cancer among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) in the San Francisco Bay Area using a unique combination of targeted recruitment strategies, including address-based sampling, community-based methods, and Internet-based and media-based approaches for recruiting controls, frequency matched on age and ethnicity to a population-based sample of cases.

Journal Article
Cross-cultural variability in respondent processing of survey questions may bias results from multiethnic samples. Authors analyzed behavior codes, which identify difficulties in the interactions of respondents and interviewers, from a discrimination module contained within a field test of the 2007 California Health Interview Survey. In all, 553 (English) telephone interviews yielded 13,999 interactions involving 22 items.

Journal Article
This study investigates whether self-reported racial discrimination is related to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Analyses focused on Whites (n = 52,571), Blacks (n = 4,343), Mexicans (n = 12,336), Central Americans (n = 1,504), Multi-ethnic Latinos (n = 1,102), and Other Latinos (n = 1,828) who participated in the 2003 and 2005 California Health Interview survey.

Journal Article
While it is clear that self-reported racial/ethnic discrimination is related to illness, there are challenges in measuring self-reported discrimination or unfair treatment. In the present study, the authors evaluate the psychometric properties of a self-reported instrument across racial/ethnic groups in a population-based sample, and test and interpret findings from applying two different widely-used approaches to asking about discrimination and unfair treatment.

Objectives: We examined the association of racial discrimination and limited English proficiency with health-related quality of life among Asian Americans in California. Methods: We studied Chinese (n = 2576), Filipino (n = 1426), Japanese (n = 833), Korean (n = 1128), South Asian (n = 822), and Vietnamese (n = 938) respondents to the California Health Interview Survey in 2003 and 2005.
