Centering the Margins: Recruiting Refugee and Immigrant Origin Youth and Parents Into a Community-Based Study

Abstract

There is an ongoing need for community-based research with refugee and immigrant origin adolescents to inform health promotion and prevention efforts. It is essential that public health researchers and practitioners receive input for young people about the many factors that influence their psychosocial and health outcomes. Due to the potential for multigenerational effects of adversity, we collected data from parents/guardians and youth to assess risk and protective factors for health and well-being. In this case study, we describe the sampling methods, research team, and community collaborators in our project Promoting Effective Coping Among Youth (Project PECAY). We highlight the lessons we learned challenges encountered and how we solved them.
