“…David, Sharma, and Petalio (2017) identified that Filipinos not only are collectivistic but also possess the unique indigenous Filipino core value kapwa (i.e., a worldview in which the self is not distinguished from others; Enriquez, 1994). Researchers also note how social support is a protective factor against mental health issues among Filipino Americans (e.g., Kuroki, 2015; Sanchez & Gaw, 2007; Tsai & Thompson, 2013). For example, low social support was associated with mental health problems and substance use among Filipino immigrant workers (Tsai & Thompson, 2013).…”

“…For example, low social support was associated with mental health problems and substance use among Filipino immigrant workers (Tsai & Thompson, 2013). Additionally, Kuroki (2015) found that social connectedness is a protective factor against suicide among Filipino Americans. However, there are no studies exploring the relationship between Filipino Americans’ social support and their mental health help‐seeking behavior.…”

Filipino Americans present with very low rates of mental health help‐seeking. Because of the colonial history between the Philippines and the United States, the authors examined how colonial mentality and internalized oppression, along with ethnic identity, acculturation, and social support, were related to mental health help‐seeking attitudes of Filipino Americans (N = 410). Furthermore, the authors investigated how colonial mentality affects the ethnic identity of Filipino Americans. Major findings included that colonial mentality was negatively related to ethnic identity development and social support, and higher levels of colonial mentality significantly predicted negative mental health help‐seeking attitudes above and beyond ethnic identity, acculturation, social support, and demographic variables. Implications for the counseling profession are considered.

“…In another study, Kessler and colleagues [ 40 ] predicted suicide in a sample of soldiers and veterans and found male sex, criminal offenses, and previous suicide ideation as the most influential risk factors for completed suicide. Kuroki [ 41 ] used a data mining approach to predict suicidal behaviors among 624 Filipino Americans and found depression and substance use disorder as the critical predictors of suicidal ideation. This study, however, did not focus on the sensitivity and specificity of the proposed diagnosis system.…”

Suicide is one of the most critical public health concerns in the world and the second cause of death among young people in many countries. However, to date, no study can diagnose suicide ideation/behavior among university students in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region using a machine learning approach. Therefore, stability feature selection and stacked ensembled decision trees were employed in this classification problem. A total of 573 university students responded to a battery of questionnaires. Three-fold cross-validation with a variety of performance indices was sued. The proposed diagnostic system had excellent balanced diagnosis accuracy (AUC = 0.90 [CI 95%: 0.86–0.93]) with a high correlation between predicted and observed class labels, fair discriminant power, and excellent class labeling agreement rate. Results showed that 23 items out of all items could accurately diagnose suicide ideation/behavior. These items were psychological problems and how to experience trauma, from the demographic variables, nine items from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), two items from Post Traumatic Growth (PTG), two items from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), six items from the Positive Mental Health (PMH) questionnaire, and one item related to social support. Such features could be used as a screening tool to identify young adults who are at risk of suicide ideation/behavior.

Suicide is the outcome of the interaction of biological, personal, and social risk factors. The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of strain due to individual risk factors and social risk factors on suicidality, and the mediating effect of depressive symptoms in relationship between strain related to individual risk factors and social risk factors and suicidality. The data from sociopsychological anxiety survey of Korea society conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs in 2015 were used in verifying the model. We analyzed the data of 7000 adults aged 19 to 79 years using Structural Equation Modeling. Strain due to individual risk factors was positively related to depressive symptoms and suicidality. Interestingly, strain induced by social risk factors was positively associated with depressive symptoms and suicidality. Social support is significantly associated with depressive symptoms and suicidality. Depressive symptoms directly affected suicidality. In addition, strain due to individual risk factors and social risk factors indirectly affected suicidality mediating depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that not only individual efforts such as social interaction and depression prevention but also government efforts such as preparation for aging may be needed to decrease suicide rate.
