13.2 representation of asian american mental health issues on youtube

This study aims to profile videos pertaining to mental health issues in the Asian American (AsAm) community shared through YouTube, which is a social media site where any individual or group can upload videos. Videos can act as a source of health information or as a medium to share personal experiences, which can trigger both negative and positive contagion effects. Because mental health issues in the AsAm community are stigmatized, individuals may start their help-seeking information search through online sources such as YouTube.
