Due to increasing discrimination and marginalization, Arab Americans are at a greater risk for mental health disorders. Social networks that include ties to the country of origin could help promote mental well-being in the face of discrimination. The role of countries of origin in immigrant mental health receives little attention compared to adjustment in destination contexts. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the relationship between nativity, cross-border ties, and psychological distress and happiness for Arab Americans living in the greater Detroit Metropolitan Area A second study looks at Anxiety and Depression in the Arab population in Southeast Michigan.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Mental Health of Arab Americans created by Goleen Samari, MPH, PhD (Public Health) et al in 2016.
