Social Work
Associate Professor of Social Work Yeon-Shim Lee co-authored the article "Stressors, coping resources and depressive symptoms among rural American Indian older adults," which was published in the journal Social Work in Public Health. In this work, Lee and colleagues found that functional disability is a strong predictor of depressive symptoms among rural, off-reservation American Indian older adults living in the Midwest region of the United States, yet access to health care and perceived social support made a difference in how people managed their physical illnesses and depressive symptoms.
