health within populations. It contributes to the overall understanding of the mental health status of
population groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors.

Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this
cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so
as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with
mental health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of
mental illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore
the symptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect
anyone, not just those of the Asian culture.
