Asian American Mental Health:
A Post September 11th Needs Assessment

Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this study is the first comprehensive account of mental health issues among Asian American communities in New York City. Mental health is a critical concern for our community because, as a population, Asian Americans typically underutilize mental health services; those who do seek help tend to be more severely ill than those in other groups. These circumstances are exacerbated in the context of September 11th, which inflicted severe mental distress on those who lost loved ones and who lived or worked in close proximity to the World Trade Center site.
