“…Research evidence denotes that ethnic minorities and immigrants in the United States frequently face increased discrimination and social exclusion with negative implications for health and wellbeing (Carter et al, 2017; Davis et al, 2016; Saasa et al, 2021; Schmitt et al, 2014). Discrimination among minority groups has been linked to disproportionate rates of psychosomatic symptoms and negative mental health outcomes including depression, anxiety, and insomnia (Cheng et al, 2020; Davis et al, 2016; Kauff et al, 2017; Saasa et al, 2021) and adverse physical health outcomes such as chronic diseases and accelerated ageing (Priest & Williams, 2018; Simons et al, 2021).
