Visit Prof. Hahm’s Google Scholar Profile

Hyeouk Chris Hahm is a researcher dedicated to reducing health disparities among Asian American populations with a particular emphasis on building empirical evidence of health risk behaviors (e.g., self-harm, suicide and HIV risk behaviors). Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH, NICHD), the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Hahm has developed and tested a theoretical framework that explains suicide behaviors among Asian American women. Further, she developed culturally grounded interventions: AWARE (Asian American Women’s Actions in Resilience and Empowerment) and Youth AWARE, which has been implemented in colleges and high schools. Hahm also developed the AWARE Training Certificate, which focuses on training social workers, mental health counselors, advisors, and education professionals to provide support and empowerment to young Asian-American women encountering challenges of adulthood, mainstream American culture, and parents’ traditional culture.

She is an editorial board member Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, the Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work in the U.S., and the Journal of Korean Mental Health in South Korea. Hahm is an author of more than 80 peer-reviewed journal publications and has given 250 professional talks locally, nationally and internationally. Hahm is a recipient of a research mentor award at Boston University and the Innovator’s Award from Asian Women for Health.

Her work has been featured in numerous media, including the New York Times, National Public Radio (NPR), USA Today, Boston Globe, Washington Post, GBH (Boston’s NPR), and the Economist. Hahm is the Vice-President Elect of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR).
