Excited to share that I've been quoted in a new USA TODAY article by Eduardo Cuevas discussing the CDC's latest findings on students' mental health and the devastating impact of racism. I provided comments specifically about the high levels of racism Asian students are facing. "The findings among Asian students align with existing research, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when former President Donald Trump used xenophobic and racist language about the virus's origins in China. Asian people subsequently experienced a series of high-profile attacks across the U.S., fueling a wave of fear in communities." Existing research refers to the Young Asian American Health Survey (YAAHS) I conducted with Jessie Chien, Amy Nguyen, Delanie Honda, Emily EunYoung Cho, Maliya Xiong, MA, MPH, Tran T. Doan, and Thoại Ngô, PhD. https://lnkd.in/gQZgbQd5
