The Asian Women’s Action for Resilience and Empowerment (AWARE) Study is a research study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the Boston University School of Social Work. This effort is directed by Professor Hyeouk “Chris” Hahm, who hopes to create an evidence-based psychotherapy model specifically tailored for Asian-American women.

The AWARE Study (Asian Women’s Action for Resilience and Empowerment) is a research study designed to promote the mental health wellbeing of Asian-American Women. We would like Chinese-American, Vietnamese-American or Korean-American women to participate in a clinical trial to develop the full AWARE intervention by participating in agroup psychotherapy intervention with other Asian-American women. Sessions will integrate the issues of culture, family, and gender which speak to Asian-American women. The essence of this treatment will highlight safety, empowerment, and will help participants develop coping skills.

To qualify to participate in our study, you must be…
An unmarried woman
18 to 35 years of age
A child of an immigrant family (be of 1.5 or 2nd generation)
Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean
