Resources

Depending on the search tool that you are using (catalog, database, web search), you may need to search for multiple terms. Here are some terms to consider for both keyword and subject searching (remember that some databases have specific subject terms to use). Some are specific for Asians/Asian-Americans; some are more general.

  • Asians
  • Asian Americans
  • Koreans
  • Japanese
  • Chinese
  • Chinese Americans
  • "Asian Continental Ancestry Group"
  • Asiatic Race
  • race factors
  • racial
  • minority groups

Combine the above terms with terms like these:

  • disparities
  • "health status"
  • "quality of health care"
  • "health services accessibility"

or with terms that are disease/condition-specific (like diabetes, gout, etc.)
