This article reviews the current state of research on the assessment of anxiety and depression in Asian American children and adolescents. Contrary to lay perceptions of Asian Americans as a "model minority," research indicates that rates of depression and anxiety among Asian American adults are comparable to those found among European American populations. Given that Asian American populations also underutilize mental health services, the need to assess and treat anxiety and depression in Asian American youth is critical. This commentary includes directions for future research as well as clinical intervention.
本文综述了关于亚裔美国儿童和青少年焦虑与抑郁评估的研究现状。与公众认为亚裔美国人是“模范少数族裔”的看法相反，研究表明，亚裔美国成年人中的抑郁和焦虑发生率与欧裔美国人群相当。鉴于亚裔美国人群对心理健康服务的利用率也较低，评估和治疗亚裔美国青少年的焦虑和抑郁的需求至关重要。本评论包括未来研究方向以及临床干预措施。
