S3E6: Psychosocial Stressors and Group Comparisons

In this episode, we delve into the study "An Exploration of Racial Differences of Psychosocial Stressors and Their Association With Mental Health Between Asian and White Sexual Minority Men: The P18 Cohort Study." This paper was recently published in 2023 by Nguyen K. Tran, Thomas P. Le, Kristen D. Krause, Richard J. Martino, and Perry N. Halkitis.

The study shows high levels of mental health struggles and thoughts of suicide in Asian American men who identify as gay or bisexual. We look into why this is happening, such as feeling isolated from the LGBT community and dealing with how the Asian community reacts to their sexual orientation. Our aim is to highlight the specific challenges and mental health issues faced by these individuals, providing insights for mental health professionals and for friends and family in the Asian American community. Throughout our talk, we mainly use the term "LGBT community" to stay consistent with the language used in the research paper.
