Eunseok Jeong

Doctoral student
University of Chicago
Chicago, IL, United States

Eunseok Jeong is currently a doctoral candidate at the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. As a social work scholar specializing in race and health, his research examines the social determinants of mental health among Asian Americans. As a model minority and yet a perpetual foreigner, Asian Americans are in the unique position where their mental health is impacted by structural inequities (e.g. racial discrimination, lack of access to culturally responsive care) and cultural forces (e.g. cultural stigma of mental health). Through advanced quantitative methods, his research identifies independent and combined effects of these forces on the mental health utilization of Asian Americans. Empirical investigations include the development and validation of surveys, experimental vignettes, and qualitative interviews in determining specific barriers to mental health service utilization. He also explores the practical implications of improving access and equity in mental health services. By extending this research to other minority groups, Eunseok aim to illuminate and address the pervasive challenges affecting diverse American communities.
