缺乏基于人口的研究和流行病学调查的精神健康问题的亚裔美国人，特别是自1965年移民法的变化，导致了矛盾的猜测精神疾病的患病率和一般精神健康状况的亚裔美国人，而不是人口的其他部分。我们对来自西北沿海城市的499个样本进行了流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D），以初步评估亚裔美国人的抑郁程度。调查比较了亚裔美国人与白人和其他少数民族的CES-D得分，检查了量表按种族的因素加载模式，发现即使有统计控制，中国人、菲律宾人、日本人和韩国人的抑郁症状平均得分也存在差异。
The dearth of population-based studies and epidemiological investigations on the mental health problems of Asian-Americans, especially since the change in the immigration laws in 1965, has led to contradictory speculations about the prevalence rates of mental illness and the general mental health status among Asian-Americans, as opposed to other segments of the population. We administered the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale to 499 samples drawn from a Northwestern coastal city in order to make an initial assessment of the amount of depression experienced by Asian-Americans. The investigation compared the Asian-Americans' CES-D scores with those of whites and other minority groups, examined the scale's patterns of factor loading by ethnicity, and discovered that, even with statistical controls, there exists a distinction among the individual groups of Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, and Koreans with respect to their score averages of depressive symptoms.
