“…Also, when participants perceived racial discrimination with a high level of stress, they were more likely to use substances. Previous studies reported that racial discrimination was associated with mental health problems among Asian Americans (Checn, Szalacha, & Menon, 2014;Fisher et al, 2000;Grossman & Liang, 2008;Juang & Cookston, 2009;Shin et al, 2011). Several studies reported that perceived discrimination was related to substance use among Asian American adults and adolescents (Chae et al, 2008;Chen at al., 2014;Park, 2008).…”

“…Although experiencing racial discrimination is a common stressor among Asian American adolescents, this group was left out of the mainstream of discrimination-related research until the late 1990s (Fisher, Wallace, & Fenton, 2000). Several studies reported perceived racial discrimination as associated with distress and depressive symptoms among minority adolescents (Fisher et al, 2000;Grossman & Liang, 2008;Juang & Cookston, 2009;Shin et al, 2011). However, the association between perceived racial discrimination and substance use particularly among Korean American adolescents is not clear because the association has not been well-studied in more recent times.…”

“…Substance use (use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs) among adolescents has been increasing in American society despite our best efforts at prevention (Fang, BarnesCeeney, Lee, & Tao, 2011;Griffin, Botvin, Scheier, Diaz, & Miller, 2000;Ryabov, 2015;Shin, D'Antonio, Son, Kim, & Park, 2011;Wu, Woody, Yang, Pan, & Blazer, 2011). Those who use substances during their adolescence may experience irreversible negative outcomes because of their developing brains' vulnerability (Steinberg, 2011).…”

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine the association between perceived racial discrimination and substance use and the potential moderating effect of perceived parental affection between the two variables. Methods: A total of 101 Korean American adolescents participated in this cross-sectional study utilized an online survey. Descriptive statistics were used to describe for means and frequencies and the patterns of substance use. Logistic regression analysis was also used to examine the association between perceived discrimination and substance use. Results: Ninety percent of the participants reported perceiving racial discrimination, and 21% had used at least one kind of substance in the month prior to taking the survey. The most frequently used substance was alcohol, followed by marijuana and tobacco products. Logistic regression analysis revealed a link between perceived racial discrimination and substance use (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.01, 3.00). However, parental affection did not moderate between racial discrimination and substance use. Conclusion: These findings suggest that perceived racial discrimination is positively associated with substance use among Korean American adolescents, and health care providers, counselors, and school nurses should screen for discrimination-related stress and substance use in this population.

“…This study examined the experiences of Korean-American adolescents who engaged in bullying in terms of moral disengagement and discrimination. Other bullying experiences among Korean-American adolescents, including the victims, have been reported in a previous study (22). In the 2011 study, Shin et al (22) also assessed discrimination experiences of Korean-American high school students in relation to bullying.…”

This study aimed to examine the relationship between moral disengagement, and discrimination experiences, and bullying experiences among Korean-American adolescents. It was hypothesized that bullies would show higher levels of moral disengagement and discrimination when compared with non-bullies. It was also hypothesized that moral disengagement would be related to discrimination experiences. A secondary data analysis from a survey study of KoreanAmerican adolescents was conducted using a data set that consisted of survey responses on bullying and related experiences from 119 KoreanAmerican junior high school students. The results supported the hypothesis that bullies experienced higher levels of moral disengagement when compared to non-bullies, although bullies did not experience more discrimination than non-bullies. Moral disengagement was not related to discrimination experiences. This study found that gender played a role in moral disengagement. Boy bullies experienced higher levels of moral disengagement than any other comparison group. In general, boys experienced more discrimination than girls. Future studies need to explore these factors along with other social variables, such as family relationships and cultural value orientations, to delineate why certain KoreanAmerican adolescents become bullies and aggressors while others remain intact and resilient to adverse social and school experiences.

“…Shin, D'Antonio, Son, Kim, & Park (2011), in an investigation of the relationship between bullying experience and depressive symptoms of 295 Korean American adolescents, found that those who experienced being bullied and those who experienced both being bullied and bullying reported levels of depression above the clinical cut-off score of 16 (M = 18.0 -19.3). Kim and Cain (2008), in their study of parenting and depressive symptoms of 56 Korean American adolescents, found that about 40% of the participants had clinically meaningful depressive symptoms.…”

Korean American adolescents are a population that may be particularly vulnerable to mental health problems because of the potential cultural conflicts they face during an important developmental period. Yet little is known about the prevalence of their mental health problems. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of various mental health problems in a sample of Korean American adolescents, and to identify whether gender or age of the youth are associated with the types or severity of their mental health problems. This cross-sectional study included 138 Korean American adolescents from community settings in California. A demographic questionnaire and the Youth Self Report (YSR) were completed by adolescents. Descriptive analyses and t-tests were used to examine the aims. Percent of the sample falling into "normal", "borderline", and "clinical" ranges for different mental health problems was also determined based on normative scores provided in the YSR manual. Results indicate that 18% of the Korean American adolescents experienced clinically significant mental health problems. Most problems were of the internalizing type such as anxiety and depression where almost 23% of the youth reached the cutoff for clinical significance. The youth also experienced high levels of social problems, thought problems, and attention problems. However, scores for somatic complaints, rulebreaking behavior, and aggressive behavior as well as the composite score for externalizing problems were in the "normal" range. Girls reported higher levels of anxiety/depression and somatic complaints than boys, contributing to their higher internalizing score as well. Boys and older adolescents reported higher levels of rulebreaking behavior. A substantial percent of Korean American adolescents in this sample reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, especially girls. Findings suggest the need to screen for these problems in pediatric care and for development of prevention and referral programs in Korean American communities.
