What is this study?
This project is the first of its kind NIH funded study exploring how cultural identity and life stressors shape health outcomes over time, including alcohol use, depression and sleep. We aim to fill a critical gap in research about our communities which may help shape future programs to support young Asian Americans.
By participating, you will be part of a groundbreaking study that centers the voices and experiences of Filipino, Korean, and Indian American young adults—groups that are often overlooked in research.
