Depression and Acculturation Stress within Adolescent Latino Immigrants

The concept of culture continues to be significant in our everyday lives. However, we tend to underestimate its impact on minorities, specifically those experiencing immigration. The stressors of immigration, such as acculturation stress, can be detrimental to mental health. This project focuses on Latino adolescents, the cultural implications during immigration, and how it can cause depression. It is significant to study culture in-depth to understand the challenges minorities face and to represent the population better.
