Project Description
Building on existing research characterizing individual- and family-level acculturative stressors that are impacting immigrants and refugees from Latin America, this innovative study seeks to capture systems-level acculturative stressors. One such stressor might be navigating complex systems (such as the health care system or the education system), which in turn can result in adverse health consequences. This study will conduct qualitative analyses on qualitative interviews conducted with immigrants and refugees, mental health care providers, and professionals working in sectors serving this population. The results will inform interventions and implementation strategies that can support the health of this population, and ultimately contribute to reducing health inequities.
Tasks and Responsibilites

2) Draft an outline for the write-up of this project
3) Form a research mentorship team that will advise on the senior thesis project
4) Create a reasonable timeline to guide distinct portions of the data process
5) Conduct qualitative analyses on individual interviews and focus groups with immigrants and refugees, mental health care providers, and professionals working in sectors serving this population.
