Investigating first-generation East Asian immigrant parental influence on their second-generation children’s mental health service usage and mental wellbeing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In recent decades, there has been an influx of East Asian immigrants migrating to Western countries, with a subsequent growth in second-generation immigrant populations. However, in terms of mental health care access, there appears to be a lack of use. This study aims to investigate the role of family in this situation. The struggles involved with immigration deeply affects both parents and their children. Immigrants can feel a lack of connection to those outside of the immediate circle, which can lead to greater reliance on one another. Consequently, if the bond is shaken, conflict and decreased mental wellbeing can occur to both parties. Second-generation immigrants have more immediate family stressors as well due to struggles of balancing acculturation and enculturation. Thus, having greater family cohesion and balance of acculturation seems to lead to better outcomes. This study aims to answer the research question of how much, as well as how does, first-generation East Asian immigrant parents influence their second-generation East Asian immigrant children in their mental wellbeing and mental health service usage? It is hypothesized that reduced mental health service barriers and greater mental wellbeing for second-generation East Asian immigrant youth are positively associated with increased acculturation of first-generation parents, increased successful integration of a bicultural identity in second-generation youths, and greater family cohesion. Data for each independent variable (acculturation in first-generation parents, bicultural identity in second-generation youths, and overall family cohesion rated by both parties) as well as each dependent variable (mental health service access and mental wellbeing) will be measured by using questionnaires. Interviews with participants will also be conducted. Correlational and thematic analyses will be conducted. The results of this research can inspire new interventions that help East Asian immigrant youths reach mental health services, encouraging new ways of finding greater family cohesion and familial relationship satisfaction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
