Scientific Questions Being Studied

This workspace aims to duplicate findings in Chae et al. (2021) study on racism and depressive symptomology among Asian Americans during the COVID19 pandemic. "Experiences of vicarious racism—hearing about racism directed toward one’s racial group or racist acts committed against other racial group members—and vigilance about racial discrimination have been salient during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Chae, D. H., Yip, T., Martz, C. D., Chung, K., Richeson, J. A., Hajat, A., ... & LaVeist, T. A. (2021). Vicarious racism and vigilance during the COVID-19 pandemic: mental health implications among Asian and Black Americans. Public Health Reports, 136(4), 508-517.

Project Purpose(s)

  • Educational

Scientific Approaches

We improve upon Chae et al. (2021) study by using a longitudinal study of Asian American adults aged ≥18 in the United States recruited from the All of Us Research Program. We will us the COPE survey to examine mental health. Example questions of interest include:

In the past 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by: Little interest or pleasure in doing things
In the past 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by: Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
In your day-to-day life, how often did this happen to you during the past month? You are threatened or harassed
In your day-to-day life, how often did this happen to you during the past month? People act as if they are afraid of you

Multivariable linear regression models examined levels of depression and anxiety by self- reported vicarious racism and vigilance.

Anticipated Findings

"Mental health problems are a pressing concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from our study suggest that heightened racist sentiment, harassment, and violence against Asian contribute to increased risk of depression and anxiety via vicarious racism and vigilance. Public health efforts during this period should address endemic racism as well as COVID-19."
