Abstract

This chapter will address the prevalence of mental disorders among the ethnic minority groups (African American, Latinx, and Asian American) in the United States according to immigration status. We will utilize the most current psychiatric epidemiology studies to characterize the prevalence of mental disorders in these groups, and describe the possible mechanisms accounting for the apparent advantage for foreign-born individuals for the ethnic minority and other groups. We will utilize Black Americans as a case example to illustrate how various mechanisms influence psychopathology among immigrant groups.
