“…These internal assets were protective despite social and cultural isolation following migration (Campbell, 2008). Likewise, other studies have shown that women with a greater number of intrinsic assets were less likely to report risky sexual behavior (Lindenberg et al, 2002), depression (Heilemann, Frutos, Lee, & Kury, 2004;Heilemann, Lee, & Kury, 2002), and substance abuse (Lindenberg et al, 1994). Furthermore, these women demonstrated greater psychological resilience following trauma from abuse and natural disasters (Boscarino & Adams, 2009;Jenkins & Cofresi, 1998).…”

“…Latino immigrant families often encounter multiple risk factors, such as discrimination, acculturative stress, and poverty, that can threaten psychological well-being (Blanco-Vega, Castro-Olivo, & Merrell, 2008). Research on Latino immigrant women shows that self-esteem, selfmastery, and personal agency are specific attributes of competence that impact the quality of interpersonal relationships and decision-making processes (Lindenberg, Gendrop, Nencioli, & Adames, 1994;Lindenberg et al, 2002). In a recent study of Mexican immigrant women in South Carolina, Campbell (2008) found that self-efficacy, self-mastery, and personal agency led to a strong desire for employment, education, and autonomy.…”

“…Relationships between parents and children are especially important during this time because youth are vulnerable to peer pressure and social isolation. Parental support and involvement have been found to deter substance abuse (Lindenberg et al, 1994;Parsai, Voisine, Marsiglia, Kulis, & Nieri, 2009), risky sexual behavior (Clauss-Ehlers, 2003), psychological stress (Blanco-Vega et al, 2008), and depression (Umaña-Taylor & Updegraff, 2007).…”

Although there is a plethora of research on resiliency, there are few studies that examine this concept in Latino immigrant families in the United States. Using key terms such as immigrant, hispanic, Latino, and resiliency, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify characteristics of resilience and understand how these factors uniquely protect Latino immigrant families against stressors related to the migration and assimilation processes. research on resilience among Latino immigrant families indicates 4 major domains: individual characteristics, family strengths, cultural factors, and community supports. A deeper understanding of how these risk and protective factors contribute to resilience with Latino immigrant families will increase the cultural competence of policy, practice, and research with this population. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…Historically, Latinas have reported lower illicit drug use compared to national population estimates (Lindenberg, Gendrop, Nencioli, & Adames, 1994); however, Latinas of lower socioeconomic status report two to three times higher rates of illicit drugs (Lindenberg et al, 2002). This pattern persists among Latina meth users.…”

In this article, we examine methamphetamine (meth) use initiation as influenced by Latinas' social positions within institutions (e.g., family and economy). We conducted ethnographic fieldwork in five women's residential substance use treatment facilities in Los Angeles County with women who considered meth to be their primary drug of choice. Using an urban ethnographic framing, we demonstrate the effects of low-income young Latinas' spatial-and social-context rendered vulnerability to abuse and neglect, and the resulting emotional distress, on meth use initiation. When considering pathways to substance use intervention for vulnerable Latina girls and women, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers need to understand substance use pathways as dynamic processes to cope with psychosocial stress while living in communities with easy access to illicit substances such as methamphetamine.

“…We conducted seven focus groups with more than 60 health and social service providers who daily interact with these young women. We also conducted four focus groups with 28 young Latina women to listen to their experiences and perspectives regarding these issues (Lindenberg, Gendrop, Nencioli, & Adames, 1994). To inform the specific development of our prevention intervention, we also conducted 15 ethnographic life stories of young women living in adverse situations so that our methods and materials would mirror their life realities (Lindenberg, Krantz, Solorzano, Flanigan, & Pittman, 1997).…”

Challenges and Strategies for Conducting Intervention Research with Culturally Diverse Populations

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conducting intervention research with culturally diverse, underserved, and often hard to reach populations in naturalistic or field settings presents investigators with a number of practical challenges. This article describes four special challenges and strategies for dealing with them that clients, service providers, and researchers experienced in conducting a prevention intervention to reduce substance use and sexual risky behaviors with low-income Latina young women. The challenges are (a) building community partnerships; (b) developing interventions that are acceptable and relevant; (c) promoting successful recruitment, participation, and retention of participants; and (d) developing a diverse, cohesive, and committed research team and effective managerial information support systems.
