Filipinos are a large, yet invisible, minority at high risk for adolescent behavioral health problems. Limited research describes the family as offering a source of positive support for some Filipino youths and yet for some it is also a source of stress and isolation, leading to struggles with adolescent depression and suicidal behavior. This article describes a qualitative study that investigates the role of family when understanding behavioral health needs among Filipino adolescents. Findings highlight the importance of addressing family cohesion when designing interventions aimed at improving the well-being of Filipino youth.
菲律宾人是一个庞大却不为人所见的少数群体,面临青少年行为健康问题的高风险。有限的研究表明,家庭对一些菲律宾青年来说是积极支持的来源,但对另一些人来说也是压力和孤立的来源,导致青少年抑郁和自杀行为的挣扎。本文描述了一项定性研究,该研究调查了在理解菲律宾青少年行为健康需求时家庭所起的作用。研究结果强调了在设计旨在改善菲律宾青年福祉的干预措施时,解决家庭凝聚力问题的重要性。
