Parental socialization of mental health in Chinese American families: what parents say and do, and how youth make meaning.
This study explored youth-reported parental socialization of mental health within Chinese American families by examining focus group data from high school and college students. The findings indicated that parents responded to youth distress in culturally consonant ways; youth engaged in active interpretation of parental messages through cultural brokering, bridging the gap between their parents' messages and mainstream concepts of mental health and help-seeking. The authors concluded that these findings revealed the significant role of culture in parental mental health socialization in Chinese American families, and emphasized the need to integrate culturally specific understandings of mental health into future interventions for Asian American youth.

Family stress and youth mental health problems: self-efficacy and future orientation mediation.
This study assessed whether future orientation and self-esteem affected the relationship between family stress and mental health problems among African American youth in predominantly low-income neighborhoods. Youths (mainly female, average age 15.83 years old) were sampled for family stress, self-esteem, future orientation, mental health and other covariates such as gender and sexual orientation. A correlation was found between future orientation and self-esteem levels and family stress and mental health problems.
