“…Third, considerable variability in prevalence rates of CD among Asian subgroups has been identified (Luczak et al 2004) ; thus, treating Asians as one homogeneous group, although necessary for these analyses, may have not identified more subtle subgroup differences. Fourth, some data exist that suggest that Asians under-report subgroups (Mayeda et al 2006). Some might still argue that, given that Asians may under-report a history of offenses/convictions (Jolliffe et al 2003), perhaps because of shame, embarrassment or mistrust of the interviewer or researchers (i.e.…”

Background. Conduct disorder (CD) is a relatively common disorder of childhood and adolescence in the USA with substantial associated morbidity, yet little has been published on CD among Asians and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (NH/PI) in the USA.Method. We used the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) to examine the prevalence and correlates of retrospectively reported CD within Asians and NH/PI (18 years and older). We also completed logistic regressions to explore factors associated with CD within Asians (n=1093) and, separately, NH/PI (n=139) and to explain racial differences in CD prevalence.Results. Asians were about a third as likely [odds ratio (OR) 0.4, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.22-0.58] whereas NH/ PI were about two and half times more likely (OR 2.6, 95 % CI 1.31-5.06) to have had CD compared with Caucasian respondents. Within Asians and NH/PI, CD was strongly associated with adult antisocial behavior, substance use and affective disorders. Demographic factors, the age that subjects came to the USA, measures of family environment and family history could not explain the observed differences in prevalence of CD for NH/PI relative to Caucasians.Conclusions. Asian and NH/PI youth with CD represent a subgroup of Asian youth at very high risk for a number of serious psychiatric disorders. Further investigation is needed to explain the high CD prevalence among NH/PI.

“…A large Native Hawaiian community resides here. Rates of youth Am J Community Psychol (2009) 44:221-232 223 violence are higher for Pacific Islander adolescents in Hawai'i than they are for other Asian adolescent populations (e.g., Mayeda et al 2006). The APIYVPC felt that this community was important to partner with in any youth violence prevention initiative.…”

Youth violence is a serious public health problem affecting communities across the United States. The use of a social ecological approach has helped reduce its prevalence. However, those who have put the approach into practice often face challenges to effective implementation. Addressing social ecology in all its complexity presents one obstacle; the ability of private non-profit and public agencies to sustain such comprehensive efforts presents another. Here, we provide an example of our efforts to prevent youth violence. We worked with the Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Violence Prevention Center (APIYVPC) and two communities on O'ahu. We provide a case example from the Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Violence Prevention Center (APIYVPC) of our work, in collaboration with two communities on O;ahu, to develop and implement a youth violence prevention initiative that is becoming both comprehensive and sustainable. We illustrate the incremental nature of what it means to be comprehensive and we underscore the importance of reaching sustainability as the project unfolds.

“…However, Filipinos may suffer from various mental health issues FILIPINO POSTSECONDARY ACCESS stemming from difficulties associated with immigration, socioeconomic status, and racism (Tompar-Tiu & Sustento-Seneriches, 1995). In one of the first larger scale studies of its kind to focus on disaggregated Asian Pacific Islander ethnic groups, researchers surveyed 326 Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese, and Samoan public high school students in Hawai'i regarding their participation in violent behavior, substance abuse, and other so-called ''deviant'' behaviors (Mayeda, Hishinuma, Nishimura, Garcia-Santiago, & Mark, 2006). Overall, Filipinos, Hawaiians, and Samoans reported that they engaged in deviant behavior at significantly higher rates than Japanese; Filipinos also demonstrated negative public health and social welfare trends.…”
