Description
This comprehensive systematic review aims to make visible the mental health needs among Asian American students. Initial searches were conducted to identify the prevalence and treatment of mental health problems as well as identify barriers and facilitators for accessing appropriate services. This review will supply researchers and practitioners with current and comprehensive knowledge for identifying and supporting Asian American students, whose mental health needs may go undetected because of their “model minority” status.
