The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the association between immigrants perceptions of the policy context and mental distress in a sample of Asian and Latinx adults in California.

This study will examine the following research questions: 1) Are there differences in mental distress between Asian and Latino immigrants? If so, are these differences associated with important demographic predictors such ever being undocumented? 2) How does immigrants’ perceptions of the policy context impact the mental wellbeing of Asian and Latino immigrants? 3) How does community engagement impact mental distress among immigrants?
