Named harms Intergenerational trauma and PTSD sit in this community’s U.S. health literature. Under-identified mental health is a pattern in some rooms. Do not invent a rate. Do not skip screening. Do not make 1975–79 a personality.
Some 1.5-generation gang history in U.S. cities is HISTORY. A last name is not a gang file. Do not score a child on a cousin’s decade.
Deportation of Cambodians with certain convictions — including people who have lived here since childhood — is current structure. It changes who opens the door. Do not collect status you do not need. Do not treat fear as noncompliance.
LGBTQ Khmer Minnesotans exist. You use the name. You do not out someone to kin and call it culture.
Staff who share this community may add facts. They do not get to delete a fact because it is hard to say.
Put other considerations to work What you can change You control whether other considerations is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for Follow law. Still see a family. Do not out anyone. Do not collect status you do not need. Do not skip mandated reporting and call it humility.

Health War, camp, and Killing Fields trauma sit in the same clinics as U.S.-born children. PTSD and under-identified mental health are documented patterns in Cambodian American health literature. Date what you cite. Do not invent a Minnesota rate. Do not skip screening because you have no module.
Access Compass (ACS 2019–2023): about 12.1 percent with a disability; about 7.3 percent without health insurance. A rate is not the person.
Traditional healing, the wat, and biomedicine are often both in the household. If they name a healer or a monk, listen. Do not make the monk the case plan unless they asked. Do not mock an altar.
Gender match may be requested in maternal and intimate care. Offer it. Believe reported pain. Do not fold this history into Tuskegee or into a generic “Asian stoicism” slide.
Put health to work What you can change You control whether health is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for Do not skip screening. Gender match in maternal care. If they name a healer or a monk, listen. Do not make the monk the case plan unless they asked.
Your next step Use this evidence as a hypothesis in your next plan, then confirm the relevant detail with the person or the community partner you named.
LGBTQ Queer and trans Khmer Minnesotans exist. Conservative family, wat, and church climates can mean silence or exile. Some people live a public English life and a private Khmer life. You use the name they use. You do not out them to an elder as cultural humility.
This person Minnesota’s Human Rights Act still applies. So does the duty not to treat a whole people as a family-values exhibit.
Do not use this chapter to raid a household. Do not pretend the tension is not there.
Put lgbtq to work What you can change You control whether lgbtq is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
