Understanding And Supporting Asian American Youth’S Mental Health Within Cultural And Family Contexts, In Young Park
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mental health problems are a major health issue among East Asian American (EAA) youth.

"We Were Queens": Historical Loss Among Native Hawaiians: Exploring Historical Trauma-Informed Suicide Prevention, Antonia Rose Garriga Alvarez
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Native Hawaiian people, and especially lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, māhū and/or queer (LGBTQM) Native Hawaiians, face health and mental health disparities that are disproportionate when compared with other racial/ethnic minorities in Hawai`i, and when compared to the United States as a whole.

Suicide rates, in particular, have been rising since Hawai`i began collecting data in 1908 (Else & Andrade, 2008), and continue …
