Project Background
Asian Americans have more sleep deficiencies than Whites and Hispanics, but Asians are less represented in sleep disparity studies compared to other ethnic minorities. Asian Americans experience various types of stress including acculturative stress, caregiving stress, and PTSD.
Project Description
The current study is one of the first to investigate the mechanisms and impact of sleep disparities on the health of Asian immigrants. Over a 5-year period, investigators will collect and analyze two waves of data to investigate stressors, potential protective factors, sleep health, and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Target Population
250 Chinese Americans, 250 Korean Americans, and 250 Vietnamese Americans 30 years and older and living in Orange County and Los Angeles, California.
Project Funding
National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) (R01MD015186), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
