Study links internalized racism to increased suicidal thoughts in Asian Americans

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

A recent study published in Ethnicity & Health has revealed a concerning link between internalized racism and suicidal thoughts among Asian Americans .

The study, led by Fanhao Nie , an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell , aimed to explore a less studied aspect of racism’s impact on mental health.

Nie conducted a national survey of 970 Asian adults living in the United States .

For Asian Americans , frequent participation in religious services may heighten awareness of their minority status, especially if they are part of a predominantly non-Asian congregation.

Alternatively, if the religious community is predominantly Asian , frequent exposure to cultural values emphasizing emotional restraint and avoidance of mental health discussions might worsen the effects of internalized racism.
