The specific aim of this research is to discuss ways that LGBTQ+ Asian Americans’ depression is measured and if there is a correlation into assimilating with U.S. Culture. Additionally, a review the current literature will be conducted on factors that contribute to identifying characteristics that are tied to adolescent depression and determine if increased levels of depression are found in Asian American immigrants and their families. This research will delve into the reasons why Asian-Americans who identify as LGBTQ+ have increased depression levels and what factors contribute to an elevated level of depression. Furthermore, we discover what further actions in research can be implemented to guide research in depression intervention specifically in LGBTQ+ youth in America.
