Abstract
⺠For Asian Americans, Limited English proficiency has an independent effect on psychological distress. ⺠This is over and above socio-demographic variables, immigration-related factors, and discrimination. ⺠For Latinos, gender, education, and discrimination are more important than limited English proficiency in affecting psychological distress. ⺠Findings indicate the differential role of limited English proficiency in relating to the mental health for these two ethnic minority groups.
