AB  - The aim of this study was to examine how perceived racial discrimination is 
      associated with mental distress among diverse Asian Americans and to explore the 
      potential moderators in the relationship. Based on the 2015 Asian American 
      Quality of Life (AAQoL) survey (n = 2609), direct influences were tested of the 
      contextual (demographic, health-related, and immigration-related) variables and 
      perceived racial discrimination on mental distress, as well as their 
      interactions. About 30% of the sample reported perceived racial discrimination, 
      and 44% fell into the category of having mental distress. Perceived racial 
      discrimination was associated with 1.90 times higher odds of mental distress and 
      had significant interactions with age, education, and ethnicity. The association 
      of mental distress with perceived racial discrimination was higher among those 
      who were 60 or older, less educated, and Vietnamese than among their respective 
      counterparts. Findings can guide strategic and targeted interventions for 
      high-risk groups.
