Exactly, or if their blood pressure medications are being maxed because they feel like their blood pressure rises every time they go outside because that's what happened to one of our participants, that's an issue and that should be addressed.
Other kind of barriers thinking about it is just lack of resources.
One person said, and they're also a researcher and clinician, they said, if I can't fix something, why should I be screening for it?
And that's something I actually wholeheartedly believed when I was in training.
We are taught in residency that you shouldn't just screen everyone for a problem if you can't address it or fix
Yeah, but now we know this is a health issue.
And just because we can't fix the underlying problem doesn't mean we can't talk about it.
And that goes to the point of why we should screen.
So people, both older Asians as well as clinicians said, you know, this is a whole person issue.
If my doctor asked me about anti-Asian hate, it would show me that they cared.
And we had social workers tell us, you know, if clinicians don't talk about it, then this is never going to change.
And so just kind of thinking about the big picture here, you know, as a geriatrician and palliative care physician, we've been in situations where we talk about things that we can't fix, death and dying, end of life care.
That doesn't mean that we should avoid those topics.
And I think it's important for clinicians to create a safe space for listening, for starting these conversations, and to show people that we care.

From the surveys, we actually found that 70% of older Asian participants actually felt comfortable talking about this issue with their doctor, but only 11% recalled a clinician ever bringing it up with them in a medical encounter.
And through interviews too, some people will say, I don't think that's within my doctor's scope of practice.
I don't know what they would say to me.
But at the same time, it's a really important issue and maybe they don't want to talk about it now.
