Midwest Longitudinal Study of Asian American Families (MLSAAF)

One of Professor Yoonsun Choi's current research projects, the Midwest Longitudinal Study of Asian American Families (MLSAAF), examines Asian American youth/young adult development and how their parents can help maximize developmental potential. This study is particularly interested in the role of culture in family (such as culturally unique family processes, parent-child cultural conflicts), racial prejudice and discrimination, ethnic identity, and culture change and formation (acculturation) that may all be unique issues of mental health and behaviors for this target group.
