Another striking pattern in the current research is the broader range of contexts that have been considered. The earliest studies of discrimination and health disproportionately focused on the African American population. Recent studies have included all of the other racial/ethnic populations in the U.S. with several studies focusing on Asian American populations (Gee et al. 2006a, 2007a, b, c; Lam 2007; Jang et al. 2005). In recent years, studies have also utilized national samples in New Zealand (Harris et al. 2006a, b) and Sweden (Wamala et al. 2007a). Studies from Australia continue to examine the association between discrimination and Aboriginal health (Larson et al. 2007) and studies from the U.K. have examined discrimination and health among African-Caribbean, Bangladeshi, and White adults (Wadsworth et al. 2007), British Muslims (Sheridan 2006), minority ethnic teachers (Miller and Travers 2005); and multiple ethnic immigrant adults (Bhui et al. 2005; Karlsen et al. 2005). Two studies from South Africa have also examined discrimination in relation to adolescent risk behaviors (Brook et al. 2006b; Kalichman et al. 2006). Studies in Norway (Oppedal et al. 2005), Denmark
