Dataset Information

Discrimination in the United States: Experiences of Asian Americans.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine experiences of racial discrimination among Asian Americans, which broadly contribute to poor health outcomes.

Data source and study design

Data come from a nationally representative, probability-based telephone survey, including 500 Asian and a comparison group of 902 white US adults, conducted January to April 2017.

Methods

We calculated the percent of Asian Americans reporting discrimination in several domains, including health care. We used logistic regression to compare the Asian-white difference in odds of discrimination, and among Asians only to examine variation by geographic heritage group (South Asian versus East Asian) and gender.
