Abstract

We examined the efficacy of the East West Connection (EWC) program for East Asian American youth (N = 51) using a quasi-experimental design. Participants were recruited from several churches. While our study showed that the participation in EWC did not significantly increase bicultural competence, the regression analyses did reveal that bicultural competence was a significant predictor of well-being. We discuss the implications of the results for future intervention development and provide recommendations for future research.
