Med."],"abstract":"<jats:p>There has been a persistent underutilization of mental health (MH) services among Asian Americans. Many researchers have attempted to explore possible etiologies and to find more effective solutions for the considerable ethnic disparities in MH. Several studies have found that integrated psychiatry and community health primary care increases treatment engagement and access to specialty MH services for low-income Asian Americans. As a result, integrated care models may serve as a crucial preventative model for proper MH care within this population. By evaluating the data from a primary care clinic, Northeast Medical Services (NEMS), which utilizes the integrated care model to serve a predominantly Asian American population, we hope to determine the impact interprofessional collaboration between primary care physicians and psychiatrists has on patients\u2019 MH outcomes. Consequently, this helps inform our understanding of help-seeking pathways that could serve Asian American immigrants in the United States.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2026.1686739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T04:39:13Z","timestamp":1779338353000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating the impact of integrated care clinics on Asian American populations\u2019 mental health"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Sammi","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, OBH One Brooklyn Health Brookdale Hospital Medical Center","place":["New York, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Hospital","place":["New York, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Sust","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Stanford University","place":["Stanford, CA, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"609","DOI":"10.1007\/s11414-024-09894-3","article-title":"Looking toward the future of integrated care: history, developments, and opportunities","volume":"51","author":"Manderscheid","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Behav Health Serv Res"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.62414\/001c.156188","article-title":"Integrated care models: expanding mental health access and ensuring their financial sustainability","volume":"13","author":"Wong","year":"2026","journal-title":"JAACAP Connect"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"256","DOI":"10.1016\/j.genhosppsych.2004.03.008","article-title":"Integrating psychiatry and primary care improves acceptability to mental health services among Chinese Americans","volume":"26","author":"Yeung","year":"2004","journal-title":"Gen Hosp Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1007\/s10597-011-9459-9","article-title":"Depression care management for Chinese Americans in primary care: a feasibility pilot study","volume":"49","author":"Kwong","year":"2013","journal-title":"Community Ment Health J"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"487","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.001742012","article-title":"A collaborative care approach to depression treatment for Asian Americans","volume":"64","author":"Ratzliff","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychiatr Serv"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"627","DOI":"10.1001\/archgenpsychiatry.2011.55","article-title":"Collaborative depression care management and disparities in depression treatment and outcomes","volume":"68","author":"Bao","year":"2011","journal-title":"Arch Gen Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1186\/s40359-025-02793-y","article-title":"Mental health help-seeking among Korean men: the influence of stigma, masculine norms, and face","volume":"13","author":"Kim","year":"2025","journal-title":"BMC Psychol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1037\/a0017874","article-title":"Masculine norms, avoidant coping, Asian values, and depression among Asian American men","volume":"11","author":"Iwamoto","year":"2010","journal-title":"Psychol Men Masculinity"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2679","DOI":"10.1007\/s10943-022-01506-8","article-title":"How does confucianism influence health behaviors, health outcomes and medical decisions?
