The prevalence of depression among immigrant Chinese elderly occurs at a higher rate than the larger population (Radloff, 1997; Yu, 1986; Ying, 1988). The severity of the disorder leads to high rates of suicide in this population (Yu, 1986). Thus, the need for effective treatment, prevention and assessment is great.

520 $a The prevalence of depression among immigrant Chinese elderly occurs at a higher rate than the larger population (Radloff, 1997; Yu, 1986; Ying, 1988). The severity of the disorder leads to high rates of suicide in this population (Yu, 1986). Thus, the need for effective treatment, prevention and assessment is great.
520 $a The low rate of utilization of mental health services has been historically noted for all Asian populations (Hatanaka, Watanabe, & Ono, 1975; Lin, Lin, 1978; Loo, Tong, True, 1989; Sue, & McKinney, 1975; Sue, & Morishima, 1982). Many barriers, such as cultural stigmas of mental illness, social perceptions of Asians as not vulnerable to psychological stressors, and low access to social services are noted to exist (Leong, & Lau, 2001; Sue, & McKinney, 1975; Sue, & Morishima, 1982). Detection and treatment typically does not occur until the symptoms are exacerbated and inpatient treatment is required (Surgeon General, 2001; Tsai, Teng, & Sue, 1981; Lin, et al. 1978; Lin, & Cheung, 1999). Thus, the need for culturally appropriate and effective instruments to assess the nonpatient population of immigrant Chinese elderly is essential.
520 $a One instrument commonly used to assess depression is the Beck Depression Inventory.
520 $a Definitions. Before proceeding with the literature review and the findings of this study, three terms, immigrant, elderly, and depression, need to be defined. (1) Immigrant. The term immigrant is used to define a person or group of people who are not native born to the country in which they currently reside. In this study the immigrant Chinese person is one who may have been born in main land China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong. (2) Elderly. Elderly in this study is defined as 60 years of age or older because all participants in the archival data are members of a community based senior center that require a minimum age of sixty. (3) Depression. The standard definition, as identified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), for depression will be used when referring to the clinical manifestation and diagnosis of the disorder (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1980).
