	South Asian men suffer more urinary problems than white men but are less likely to seek help
		South Asian men have more urinary problems than white men, but are only half as likely to seek help, according to a study of just under 8,000 men published in the September issue of the urology journal BJU International.
		South Asian men were approximately two to three times more likely to suffer from issues like urinating frequently, needing to go urgently, suffering from incontinence and having to get up to urinate at night.
		South Asian men form the largest minority ethnic group in the UK and the authors argue that further work is needed to break down the barriers that prevent them from seeking help when they have urinary problems.

	Asian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom and Anglophone Africa, the term "Asian", though it can be used to refer to the continent of Asia as a whole, is more usually associated specifically with people and cultures whose origin lies in South Asia: that is, modern-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka (see British Asian).
		In the US Census, the term Asian refers to all of these peoples, whether their racial origins are in the Far East (East Asia), Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent.
		Some believe that the idea that "Asians" form a coherent cultural group is outmoded and therefore the term should be replaced by the use of separate terms for each Asian cultural or geographical group.

	South Asian and "Model Minority"
		This was an early example of the intersection of race and class in the lives of South Asians in the U.S., which was to have profound implications for the fashioning of the "model minority" discourse in the twentieth century.
		Consequently, immigration from South Asia was reduced to a trickle, and, until the mid-1960s, the very small South Asian presence in America remained marginal and largely invisible.
		Expulsion of South Asians from East Asia and dwindling demand for labor in the oil-producing region around the Persian Gulf combined with increased economic transformations and political instability in South Asia to furnish the push factor of this migration.

	ESRC Society Today - RES-000-22-0334 - Understanding South Asian Women's Experiences of Sexual Violence
		The primary aim of this research was to develop an understanding of South Asian women's experiences of sexual violence, including child sexual abuse (CSA), in the context of service provision.
		Some support groups argue that South Asian women would seek help if they were able to disclose their experiences of sexual violence with women who understand or share their cultural practises; that this may offer a context in which women can begin to talk about sexual violence.
		Further studies are being planned, one of which will study the utility of offender programmes for South Asian men, and whether existing models are appropriate for the South Asian community, where the emphasis is on the individual men rather than, say, looking at family and community contexts.
