This study will examine the data on the mothers self-identifying as Asian ethnicity at the antenatal data collection wave. This is a quantitative descriptive study looking at cultural and ethnic identities, feeling of belonging, experiences of interacting with health systems, acculturation and bias. We will also look at factors like language, migration history, community support and cultural beliefs. We hope to provide a better understanding of the health needs of our rapidly growing and changing Asian population. This study will lay the groundwork for the long overdue Asian cohort descriptive paper.
