Talk:Health status of Asian Americans

Untitled
Hello all, I would like to add a subsection about "Substance Use" to discuss Asian Americans and their relationship with drug and alcohol use. The importance of this subsection is that it will bring about destigmatization and normalize mental health issues for Asian Americans. On the page “Health status of Asian Americans”, below "Mental Health," I will add the subsection "Substance Use." Below I will list the references that will provide information on this topic.

Hello, my name is Alice and I am a student at Rice University. I want to contribute to this article as part of a course related to human development and capabilities. This page has a C-class rating, and I think that with some expansion, I can bring it up to a B or Good Article status. The definition of “Asian American” could be defined more clearly- the article currently acknowledges that this is a heterogeneous group composed of different ethnicities and cultures, but it seems to focus solely on Eastern and Southeastern Asian Americans. It also focuses solely on three specific diseases- cardiovascular disease, hepatitis B, and cancer, with a fourth section called “other” that is supposed to encompass less prevalent diseases. The addition of mental health could be beneficial, as this is a health problem within Asian communities with a strong stigma attached to it. The page also has a section called “vulnerability”, which I think is supposed to represent social factors that contribute to observed health disparities among different ethnic groups. The page also has a “policy approach” section that includes some of the history leading up to increased research on Asian American health, but it focuses little on actual programs or organizations that work towards bettering Asian American health. This is my second contribution to Wikipedia, and I am excited to expand and improve this article in the coming months. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, advice or want to collaborate!

Hello, my name is Hanjiaxin and I am a student from SDSU. I want to add a section to the article introducing struggle facing many Asian Americans. Being a significant part in the American population, Asian American's mental health has received inadequate attention. One mental problem shared by the majority of Asian Americans is low self-esteem which has significantly affected their lives, identities and performances. This section would introduce the causes and the outward manifestations of the low self-esteem of Asian Americans. This section would be added to the page “Health status of Asian Americans”, under the section of “Mental Health". I list the references below, please let me know what you think of them, I would really appreciate it! 1.    Shek, Y., & Mcewen, M. (2012).

Fixed DOI error. However, DOI is broken. I submitted a report, but won't follow up. Please check on this in the future.
I fixed the DOI error for citation three, however, after testing the URL by clicking on it I discovered that the DOI points to a page that no longer exists and returns an error message.

I've filed a report with Wiley's customer service so that they can fix the issue. I am leaving a note about this here, so other editors who enjoy maintenence like this can follow through. Here is the message I submitted to customer service:

"Hello,

It was unclear which feedback category was appropriate. Please forward this to the right people.

I was fixing a citation of one of your articles on Wikipedia and discovered that your DOI is broken. It must not be pointing to the correct page. Here is the DOI: 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0142(19981015)83:8+<1856::AID-CNCR38>3.0.CO;2-0 Here is the article citation information: Chen, M.S. Jr. (1998). "Cancer prevention and control among Asian and Pacific Islander Americans: findings and recommendations". Cancer. 83: 1856–1864.

Here are example pages where you can click the DOI link and it returns an error message on your website: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-0142%2819981015%2983%3A8%2B%3C1856%3A%3AAID-CNCR38%3E3.0.CO%3B2-0 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229490793_Cancer_prevention_and_control_among_Asian_and_Pacific_Islander_Americans

I hope this helps you fix the error."

They gave me a case number of 03716564. Have fun. Sincerely, Shashi Sushila Murray, (message me) 23:15, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
