The Integrating Cultural Aspects Into Diabetes Education (INCLUDE) Study to Prevent Diabetes in Chinese Immigrants: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The Integrating Cultural Aspects Into Diabetes Education (INCLUDE) Study to Prevent Diabetes in Chinese Immigrants: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In earlier work, we developed 24 culturally and linguistically tailored diabetes management videos and delivered them to 30 Chinese immigrants with LEP via We Chat, successfully demonstrating feasibility, satisfaction, and potential efficacy in reducing hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) and body weight in Chinese immigrants with existing T2 D [18].

Characterizing Technology Use and Preferences for Health Communication in South Asian Immigrants With Prediabetes or Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

South Asians include a diverse group of individuals with ancestry from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, and the majority of South Asian individuals in the United States are foreign-born immigrants [1,2]. Approximately 10% of South Asian immigrants in the United States live in poverty, with immigrants from Bhutan (33.3%), Bangladesh (24.2%), Nepal (23.9%), and Pakistan (15.8%) having the highest poverty rates [3].

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

There are currently an estimated 272 million immigrants worldwide, with 82 million residing in Europe, 59 million in North America, and 49 million in Northern Africa and Western Asia [4]. Therefore, it is essential that mental health research responds to this increase in racial and ethnic diversity. Mental health is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States and worldwide [5].

Remote Delivery of the Cuidándome Telehealth Intervention for Self-Management of Depression and Anxiety Among Latina Immigrant Women: Randomized Controlled Trial

Remote Delivery of the Cuidándome Telehealth Intervention for Self-Management of Depression and Anxiety Among Latina Immigrant Women: Randomized Controlled Trial

When compared to the general US population and Latino immigrant men, Latina immigrants report significantly higher rates of multiple types of ACEs [1]. Despite the high burden of adversity and depression and anxiety symptoms, multiple barriers impede Latina immigrants’ access to mental health services. System-level barriers such as lack of health insurance and lack of language-concordant services are common barriers to accessing mental health services [4].

Experiences and Priorities in Youth and Family Mental Health: Protocol for an Arts-Based Priority-Setting Focus Group Study

Experiences and Priorities in Youth and Family Mental Health: Protocol for an Arts-Based Priority-Setting Focus Group Study

Aside from group restrictions (ie, youth, caregivers, Indigenous community members, and newcomers and immigrants), groups will be heterogeneous in composition to allow diverse perspectives on the topic [45]. Heterogeneity will include age, ethnicity, geographic location, sex, and gender, where appropriate. Furthermore, youth will be subdivided into focus groups reflecting more discrete age ranges (eg, group 1: 15-17 years; group 2: 18-20 years).

Digital Storytelling Intervention to Promote Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Among At-Risk Asian Immigrant Populations: Pilot Intervention Study

Digital Storytelling Intervention to Promote Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Among At-Risk Asian Immigrant Populations: Pilot Intervention Study

Adult women (aged 18 years or older) were recruited if they (1) self-identified as Korean American or Vietnamese American or as Korean or Vietnamese immigrants, (2) were first-generation immigrants born outside of the United States, and (3) had 1 or more children aged 9-14 years old who had not been vaccinated against HPV. English fluency was not required, given the multilingual (English, Korean, Vietnamese) features of the intervention and the multicultural and multilingual resources of our team.

Co-designing a Sexual Health App With Immigrant Adolescents: Protocol for a Qualitative Community-Based Participatory Action Research Study

Co-designing a Sexual Health App With Immigrant Adolescents: Protocol for a Qualitative Community-Based Participatory Action Research Study

Globally, Canada has one of the highest percentages of immigrants, who comprise 21.9% of the total population [2]. Of all these newcomers, approximately 34% are under the age of 25, with over 60% of immigrant youth coming from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa [1]. Given these statistics, understanding health care service information needs and utilization by immigrant adolescents is vital for health care planning, policy, and delivery.
