520 |a Objective: Mixed evidence exists in the research examining the effects of religion on health outcomes. Due to the severity of health conditions experienced by immigrants and racial and ethnic minorities in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, this research aims to examine the influence of religious involvement on self-assessed health among healthcare support professionals of Asian Indian origin living in the US. Method: The study used oral history narratives of phenomenological tradition, obtained through interviews of 16 healthcare support professionals of Asian-Indian origin and from three different religious backgrounds. The study cohort was made up of individuals residing in the greater Detroit and Lansing areas in Michigan. Findings: Although the narratives indicated that religious engagement plays a positive role in health outcomes among care professionals, simultaneously, it was found that religion-specific meaning intersects their immigration, settlement, family expectations, and work-related experiences in the US. Future research should extend the scholarship examining gender differences in the effect of religion on self-assessed health among healthcare support professionals of Asian-Indian origin.
