MENTAL-HEALTH RESEARCH ON ASIAN-AMERICANS

Because of the dramatic increase in the ethnic diversity of Americans and the shrinking world in which international contacts are commonplace, our society is confronted by problems and issues associated with race/ethnic relations. In the fields of community psychology and community mental health, ethnic diversity has posed challenges and opportunities, as well as problems. How can we better understand the cultural, experiential, and psychological sense of different ethnic communities? What means can be found to facilitate ethnic and racial harmony? What kinds of prevention and intervention strategies can be used to promote the well‐being, growth, and development of individuals from diverse ethnic groups?
