Abstract

The racialization of COVID-19 in the United States contributed to a sharp increase in anti-Asian discrimination and violence against Asian Americans (AA). Little research has been conducted to understand how Asian Americans were affected by heightened levels of racial hostility during the COVID era. Guided by the Vulnerable Populations framework (Flaskerud & Winslow, 1998), this study aimed to explore the mental health outcomes during the pandemic and how these were mediated by resource availability (individual resilience, community mitigation, prevention knowledge) and relative risk (perceived risk of infection, fear of COVID-19, discrimination).
