Abstract:
Health studies on older Asian Americans based on national and statewide representative data are scarce. This study examined subgroup differences in demographic, socioeconomic and general health status, health conditions, and access to health care services among five groups of Asian Americans aged 60 or older (Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese), using data from the 2001 California Health Interview Survey. Significant differences in demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, health status, chronic conditions, and coverage and use of health care services were found in the five groups, indicating the complexity, diversity, and heterogeneity of older Asian American populations. Practice and research implications are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract This study characterizes the mental health of Asian American older adults (aged 60+) who identify as sexual minorities (SM or lesbian, gay, bisexual) and compare to their non-Asian American and non-SM counterparts. Data were from the Research Program on Genes, Environment and Health (Aged 60+; N=185,478), a representative sample of healthcare members from Northern California. It includes SM (N=447) and heterosexual/non-SM (N=15,772) older adults who identify as Asian American (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and South Asian) and non-Asian American SM (N=3,890). Rates of dementia, anxiety, and PTSD were similar for both SM and non-SM Asian Americans. However, older lesbian and gay Asian Americans were more likely to have a depression diagnosis (30% vs. 18%, p=0.002) compared to non-SM. Overall, mental health outcomes were lower for Asian American SM compared to non-Asian American SM. We discuss need for understanding protective factors for mental health and implications for future interventions.

Abstract:
Older African Americans and Asian Americans in the U.S. underuse mental health services, despite their vulnerability to diverse mental health problems. This study examined their perspectives on the importance of various mental health problems, mental health treatment, and provider type preference. A total of 243 participants residing in Philadelphia were recruited through community-based organizations. Chi-square, ANOVA, and logistic regression were conducted to examine ethnic differences in demographic characteristics, mental health screening needs, and treatment preferences. African Americans were more likely to endorse the screening needs for depression (AOR: 3.77; 95% CI: 1.19–11.93, p < 0.05) and less likely to endorse the screening needs for suicide (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.08–0.76, p < 0.05) compared to Asian Americans. For treatment preferences, African Americans were more likely to seek help from primary care physicians (AOR: 8.26; 95% CI: 1.71–32.86, p < 0.01) and less likely to prefer medication as a treatment option (AOR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.09–0.79, p < 0.05) than Asian Americans. African Americans and Asian Americans prioritized mental health screening needs differently and had different treatment preferences, indicating that matching community needs and preferences regarding mental health services is critical to improve mental service utilization rates in the targeted populations.

Abstract:
Abstract Although significant progress has been made in understanding mental health issues, racial/ethnic minorities are disadvantaged in terms of knowledge, attitude/stigma toward mental illness, and access to treatment. Older Koreans and Korean Americans are high-risk groups with great prevalence of stigma and limited access to mental services. The two groups share similarities as well as differences. For example, Older Korean Americans, a first-generation immigrant group, tend to share traditional values and beliefs with older Koreans. However, differences in social and cultural contexts, availability of social networks and resources, and access to health care systems present unique challenges and strategies. The purpose of this symposium is to enhance the understanding of critical issues in mental health among older Koreans and Korean Americans and identify challenges and strategies to promote mental health and well-being. Five studies conducted in Korea and the US will explore a variety of personal, social, and cultural factors related with mental health, based on quantitative and qualitative approaches. The diverse topics cover the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship of stigma to emotional well-being, the effect of stress and coping on well-being, loneliness and negative family interactions, the relationship of life stressors and social capital on mental distress among older Korean Americans compared with other older Asian Americans, and community leaders’ attitude toward depression. The issues of vulnerabilities and resources will be discussed from the cultural perspectives as well as implications for future research and practice.

Abstract:
In order to better understand variations of health behaviors between US-born and foreign-born elderly Asian Americans (65+) in the United States, the research aims to explore relationships among health outcomes, healthcare utilization, and sociodemographic characteristics. Data from the National Health Interview Survey 1998-2012 is used to construct structural equation models for the US born group and for the foreign born group. The results found that there is a reciprocal relationship between health outcomes and healthcare utilization in both groups. Use of healthcare services can positively affect health outcomes, while better health outcomes reduce the need for healthcare utilization. In addition, some sociodemographic characteristics, such as age, sex, and marital status have a direct effect on health outcomes, but some others, such as education, family size and combined family income, have an indirect effect on health outcomes via healthcare utilization. The region of residency has both direct and indirect effects on health outcomes. Regarding the effects of predictors on health outcomes, US-born elderly Asians usually receive more health advantages from using institutional health services than foreign-born elderly Asians. Practitioners, social gerontologists, and policy makers should be cautious about assuming that there is a positive impact of increased healthcare utilization on health outcomes in elderly Asian Americans.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Thanh V. Tran
Purpose: According to census estimates, Asians are one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the US, and the fastest growing group among all elderly. This study examines the impact of acculturation, measured as English ability, along with other predictors on health for older Asian Americans. Data Sources: Data from the 2009 American Community Survey and the National Latino and Asian American Study were used to examine large-scale population characteristics of Asian American elderly. Measures: A broad view of health (physical, mental, Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(iADLs)) was examined using items capturing functional disability. Psychological health was examined using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Analytical Methods: Confirmatory factor analysis, logistic regression analysis, and path analysis was conducted. Results: CFA suggests scales are reliable for use. Cross-cultural comparability was found for psychological distress, but not for functional disability. Results indicated that English ability predicted lower disability, but had no relationship to psychological distress. Higher levels of intergenerational family conflict increased distress for Asian elders. Perceived discrimination, which represents a form of social marginalization, emerged as a key mediating variable and was consistently associated with poorer mental health. Conclusion: This study provided key insights into the applicability and measurement invariance of two key measures of health for older Asian Americans. While the measures captured health reasonably well, the results suggest confounds for this population, which may be due to perceptions of disability, language, immigration status, social networks, health insurance status, and access to services. Acculturation is a process involving the individual and the family, and can cut across age groups and generations. Policies should emphasize the development of culturally-specific services for Asian American elders. The study highlights that social workers must engage families across generations and the lifespan when working with Asian elders

Abstract:
This final report documents the theoretical development and preliminary empirical testing of a model that predicts the conditions under which Hispanics will seek preventive health care. Research shows that Hispanics delay preventive care, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality rates for serious diseases such as cancer. Since many serious diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer can be prevented or treated more effectively if detected early, it is crucial to understand the motivating forces behind Hispanics’ preventive health behavior. The Hispanic model, which is an extension of the Health Behavior in Cancer Prevention Model developed by Atwood, et al. (1986), includes as core variables environmental barriers to access and English-language proficiency, as well as social support, health beliefs, self-efficacy (or perceived skill), health locus of control, and health values. This correlational descriptive study employed snowballing sampling methods and consisted of 199 Hispanics between 49 and 94 years of age. Measures consist of multi-item scales whose content follows that of the Parent Project. The final instruments showed reliability (Alphas between .69 and .95), although the model testing was limited by the exclusion of some constructs that did not demonstrate reliability. The outcome of predisposition to self-care was predicted by utilization barriers to care, Chance Health Locus of Control, and General Health threat, resulting in an R-square of .07. The findings dealing with dietary preferences and preferred dietary modifications also have great implications for interventions aimed at preventing colon cancer among Hispanics. The practical health policy applications of the model are also discussed.

Abstract:
Differences in Mexican American ethnicity, family and friend social support, and importance of diabetes self-management as related to diabetes management in the older adult population were evaluated with the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS) 2003 Diabetes Study. Comparisons were made between Mexican Americans with Type II diabetes and similar non-Hispanic Caucasian and African American individuals with Type II diabetes. Neither family/friend social support nor importance of diabetes self-management were significant predictors of HbA1c levels. Results did not support the idea that perception of receiving support from family/friends or placing importance on diabetes self-management covaried with lower HbAlc level (family/friend: beta = -.13, t = -1.47, p = .143; self management: beta = .08, t = .55, p = .584).

Abstract:
This study was designed to explore how Chinese elderly informants with diabetes experience and manage their illness at home. The method used in conducting this study was the phenomenological perspective of qualitative research. The Intent of the study was to understand the human experience of living with diabetes and the sociocultural context in which it is lived. Data collection and analysis ran concurrently. Data were collected through a series of interviews with nine Chinese informants who were diagnosed with late onset diabetes and were undergoing insulin treatment at home. Informants' ages ranged for a 69 to 90 years old. All informants are first generation immigrants in Canada. The specific questions that directed this study addressed the Chinese elderly informants' experience of living with diabetes, the meanings they assigned to living with diabetes, and the ways Chinese informants managed their diabetes. Theoretical sampling guided sample selection and determined sample size. The data were constructed based on a total of 21 interviews with the nine informants. As the researcher explored how the informants lived with diabetes, informants gave detailed accounts of how they viewed diabetes. Within the context of how they viewed diabetes, informants described an entire process they went through to make decisions in everyday life as they sought help and managed their illness. Based on informants' accounts, a decision making model was formulated. Informants gave detailed accounts of each step of the decision-making process, together with descriptions of meanings they assigned to each step. The data showed how informants made sense of their experience as they went through each phase of the decision-making process. The descriptions also revealed an "inner logic" used by informants to direct choices they make regarding health matters. In terms of nursing practice, these findings support the need to attend to client decision-making, from the clients' perspectives. The findings also address nurses' need to reevaluate their professional role in relation to clients' needs and expectations. With regard to nursing research, the findings suggest the need to further explore the topic of decision making from both the clients' and nurses' perspectives.

Lee, Matthew. "Advancing Understandings of Policy Implementation and Sustainability to Address Health Equity: A Mixed Methods Case Study of Tobacco Control in New York City." Thesis, 2021. https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-1hqt-5a04.

Full text
Abstract:
Public health and social policies are often debated, designed, and adopted without implementation, sustainability, or equity in mind, which can generate profound uncertainty about how to equitably deliver them initially and over time. Although sustainability and equity considerations are sometimes considered in post-hoc policy analysis and evaluation, little is known about how to plan for and track planned and unplanned adaptations to policy implementation, as well as the ways that key sustainability factors and strategies can relate to the equitable delivery or relative effectiveness of policies on the ground and in community settings. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the long-term sustainability and equity of tobacco control policies and programs in New York City to understand and contextualize their limited reach and impact on persistent smoking and tobacco-related health disparities in underserved Asian American communities. The specific aims were to: 1) conceptually specify an operational definition of policy sustainability and its key dimensions, including health equity, and to refine this using a mixed methods single case study of tobacco policies in New York City; 2) use the case study approach to describe the extent to which tobacco policies have been sustained and adapted in New York City; and 3) to use the case study to identify key multi-level factors that influence the long-term sustainability and equity of tobacco policies in New York City. Using a single, in-depth, convergent-parallel mixed methods case study design, data were collected, analyzed, and integrated across five key primary and secondary sources: 1) Policymaking documents – text of key tobacco bills and statutes, as well as transcripts from when they were first proposed, amended, debated, and adopted; 2) Local newspaper coverage – articles from a database of 29 major newspapers in New York State on the policies and their impacts on communities and businesses over time; 3) Key informant interviews – conducted with community members and community leaders at local health and advocacy organizations in New York City that primarily serve Asian American and immigrant communities (n = 21); 4) Direct observation periods – conducted within and around the health and advocacy organizations, as well as in majority Asian neighborhoods and Asian ethnic enclaves (n = 15); and 5) the New York City Community Health Survey (2012-2017) – conducted annually by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The integrated study findings point to the importance of understanding policy sustainability not as a static end goal, but rather as a dynamic set of processes and outcomes that impact health and health equity. Findings from this case study clustered across three key themes: 1) since the initial adoption of comprehensive local tobacco control measures in New York City in 2002, broad “one-size-fits-all” approaches to policy implementation and monitoring have been sustained, which have had and continue to have limited reach and impact within underserved Asian American and immigrant communities; 2) two delayed adaptation efforts were made by policymakers during the sustainability phase, one in 2012 and another in 2018, were intended to improve on prior uneven implementation to better reach Chinese-speaking communities, with the 2018 adaptation demonstrating significant improvements from the 2012 effort; and 3) community-based organizations have played a direct role in functioning not just as key stakeholders but also as key implementers to ensure that tobacco and other health policies are reaching communities that the designated or official implementers cannot reach. This suggests the need for further study of unofficial implementers in implementation science – those who have not been formally designated as the ones responsible for ensuring that implementation takes place, but are still delivering implementation strategies to ensure adoption, integration, and sustainment. Overall, this case study points to the potential for policy sustainability research to advance health equity by identifying factors and mechanisms that can be improved to maximize and sustain the equitable reach and impact of social and public health policies. By focusing on dynamic contextual factors and sustainability as a set of processes and outcomes, the findings from this case study raise critical questions about the criteria typically used to evaluate whether policy interventions are deemed evidence-based and effective by asking: 1) effective for whom?; 2) based on what evidence?; and 3) what happens as dynamic populations and contexts change over time? These questions highlight how the tobacco control success story was largely constructed around broad population-wide implementation and benefits, while overlooking underserved Asian American communities who continue to disproportionately bear the brunt of smoking and tobacco-related health disparities in New York City.
