Research priorities in Asian-American mental health delivery
J Yamamoto
The author cites statistics which show that Asian-Americans underutilize
mental health services. He suggests that more research is needed regarding
the effects of such mental health delivery factors as language difference,
familial reaction, community education, cultural changes, cross-cultural
misdiagnosis, and therapeutic method.
