Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Despite the well-established relationship between educational attainment and physical health status, it is not entirely evident that the association is consistent across diverse racial and ethnic groups. In this study, we examine education, and test its association with health for a large ethnic category, Asian Americans. We specifically test whether the education/health association is context driven, that is, whether the association depends on where the education was received. This study uses data from a recently completed national survey of Asian Americans, the National Latino and Asian American Survey (NLAAS), to describe the association between educational attainment and self-rated health among Asian Americans employing a human capital framework, and to determine how the source of an individual’s education structures the education and health association. Though the well-established education gradient in health is initially supported, this relationship does not hold after other health-related factors are accounted for. The findings also indicate that the source of an individual’s education moderates the relationship between educational attainment and self-rated health. Asian Americans who receive most of their education outside of the United States have significantly lower health returns to their education than U.S.-educated Asian Americans.
