Immigrant Wellbeing Project Study Protocol
The goal of the Immigrant Wellbeing Project (IWP) study is to test a transdisciplinary ecological approach to reducing Latinx immigrants’ mental health disparities by adapting and integrating a multilevel community-based advocacy, learning, and social support intervention into existing efforts at four community partner organizations that focus on mental health, education, legal issues, and community mobilization for Spanish-speaking immigrants. T…
Centering Latinx immigrant knowledge for wellbeing, liberation, and justice in community‐university research partnerships
Structural inequities impacting immigrant health in the United States were intensified during two recent time periods—the anti‐immigrant socio‐political context of 2017–2021 and the COVID‐19 pandemic beginning in 2020. Our community‐university research team adapted and implemented a community‐based mental health intervention with Latinx immigrants during these periods, which allowed us to reflect on the role of our community‐based participatory r…
Is cultural appropriateness culturally specific? Intersectional insights from a community‐based participatory mental health intervention study conducted with diverse cultural groups
Growing evidence supports the importance of culturally appropriate mental health interventions, yet it is not always feasible to develop culturally grounded interventions or adapt existing interventions for each cultural group. In addition, these approaches do not recognize the multiple intersecting aspects of culture and identity that individuals, families, and communities possess. Thus, an essential question is whether culturally appropriate me…
From multilevel to trans-level interventions
conceptual model for mental health intervention that simultaneously facilitates change across multiple intersecting levels with four guiding principles: (1) emphasis on structural change; (2) involvement of people experiencing health and social inequities in achieving structural change by addressing the necessary preconditions of access to resources for basic needs, community membership and belonging, and knowledge or information to participate i…
The Work-Wellbeing Paradox
Measuring culturally and contextually specific distress among Afghan, Iraqi, and Great Lakes African refugees
(ASCL) and conducted 18 semistructured qualitative interviews that attended to refugees' multiple settings; the impact of potentially traumatic events initially and postresettlement; and the experiences and impact of resettlement stressors. We tested the newly developed measures and existing ASCL with 280 recently resettled refugees (< 3 years) from Afghanistan, the Great Lakes region of Africa, and Iraq to assess factor structure, reliability, a…
The Trauma Mantras
Planned adaptation and implementation of the Community Guide recommendations for increasing physical activity in rural community settings
Background: The purpose of this paper is to report on the implementation of an evidence-based model, VIVA, which was developed to translate physical activity (PA) recommendations to rural environments and was scaled-up to 12 rural communities across New Mexico. Our longitudinal qualitative research describes processes of planned adaptation in the rural context with an exploration of inner and outer context adaptations that consider important impl…
Expanding Social Network Conceptualization, Measurement, and Theory
With forcible displacement at unprecedented levels and only expected to increase as conflict, economic inequities, and climate change escalate, it is critical to understand the ways in which social networks of migrants are disrupted and reconstituted in new contexts. This requires critical examination and expansion of existing social network conceptualization, measurement, and theory that considers transnational movement and experiences to ensure…
Measuring Latinx/@ immigrant experiences and mental health
52) were recruited through community partner organizations and completed four qualitative and quantitative interviews over a 12-month period. The present analysis draws on the baseline quantitative data. Results show it is possible to adapt standardized measures of discrimination developed to assess the experiences of other racial/ethnic groups; however, the most common responses involved response options added by our research team. For the histo…
The impact of postresettlement stressors and access to health care on health outcomes in recently resettled refugees in the United States
This mixed-methods study examines mechanisms connecting the deployment of economic, social, and health care resources to emotional distress and physical health outcomes. Examining such mechanisms is critical for informing strategies, policies, and other interventions for reducing health disparities and improving refugee health in the United States and other resettlement contexts. Data for this study were collected as part of a randomized control …

A Mixed-method Study of the Effects of Post-migration Economic Stressors on the Mental Health of Recently Resettled Refugees
After years of emphasis on pre-migration trauma as the major determinant of refugee mental health, researchers have begun to explore the effects of post-migration stressors on refugees’ distress. However, few studies have brought together refugees’ emic understandings of the effects of economic stressors on their mental health with quantitative data sets to further explore the salience of stress processes as an explanatory mechanism. In qualitati…
Innovative participatory bilingual data analysis with Latinx/@ immigrants
A focus on praxis and language revealed how the language of research structures' power, meaning, feeling, collaboration, analysis, and transformation. We also found that bilingual participatory analytic processes have important implications with respect to achieving genuine inclusion in rigorous research that moves toward equity for Latinx/@ immigrants and other populations.

Randomized Controlled Trial of a Multilevel Intervention to Address Social Determinants of Refugee Mental Health
Highlights Multilevel strengths‐based intervention decreases refugee distress and improves protective factors. Holistic focus on psychological, material, social, educational, and cultural needs is effective. High recruitment/retention rates support importance of non‐stigmatizing universal interventions. Refugee Well‐being Project (RWP) intervention reaches refugees unlikely to access formal mental health services. RWP circumvents typical barriers…
Latinx/@ immigrant inclusion trajectories
Immigration is at the forefront of national, state, and local policy struggles in the United States, and Latinx/@ immigrants have experienced increased deportations, detention, and individual threats. A mobilities perspective allows analysis to extend our view of migration beyond frameworks confined to pre- and postmigration, examining trajectories of social inclusion and exclusion that are influenced by multiple factors in the receiving country.…
Perceptions of water and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption habits among teens, parents and teachers in the rural south-western USA
Objective The present research aimed to describe perceptions and behaviours around the consumption of water and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) by youths. Design A formative, qualitative study which conducted four focus groups. Transcripts were analysed and themes related to reasons youths drink SSB and water, and conversely do not drink SSB and water, were analysed to reveal thematic clusters around sensory factors, environment and policy, acces…

Understanding the mental health consequences of family separation for refugees
Consistent evidence documents the negative impacts of family separation on refugee mental health and concerns for the welfare of distant family members and desire to reunite with family members as priorities for refugees postmigration. Less is known about refugees' emic perspectives on their experiences of family separation. Using mixed methods data from a community-based mental health intervention study, we found that family separation was a maj…
My World Is Upside Down
The U.S. war with Iraq led to the displacement of millions of Iraqis, many of whom have resettled in the United States as refugees. We explore the challenges Iraqi families face after resettlement, with a particular focus on the agency of refugees and challenges/opportunities of familial social reproduction in a transnational context. We conducted 181 qualitative interviews with 38 Iraqis (11 youth, 27 adults) and 5 service providers. Our finding…

A 3-Component Approach Incorporating Focus Groups in Strategic Planning for Sexual Violence Prevention
Sexual violence is of special concern in New Mexico because of the presence of large priority populations in which its prevalence is high. This article describes a 3-component approach to developing a strategic plan to prevent sexual violence in the state that consisted of an advisory group, subject matter experts, and focus groups from geographically and demographically diverse communities. Both common and community-specific themes emerged from …

Reconsidering Culturally Competent Approaches to American Indian Healing and Well-Being
There is an urgent need to eliminate mental health disparities experienced by American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Service providers and researchers often address these disparities by focusing on low rates of participation in Western mental health services. In part, this reflects limited understandings of the sociopolitical and historical context of AI/AN mental health problems. Furthermore, this emphasis fails to recognize the importanc…
Immigrant Ambassadors
The Tibetan diaspora began fifty years ago when the current Dalai Lama fled Lhasa and established a government-in-exile in India. For those fifty years, the vast majority of Tibetans have kept their stateless refugee status in India and Nepal as a reminder to themselves and the world that Tibet is under Chinese occupation and that they are committed to returning someday. In the 1990s, the U.S. Congress passed legislation that allowed 1,000 Tibeta…
Statelessness and the State
The Tibetan population in the United States has increased significantly over the last decade. The passage of the 1990 Immigration Act instituted the first large‐scale immigration of Tibetans from South Asia to the United States. Tibetans in the United States are adopting US citizenship, and are encouraged to do so by the exile government on the grounds that gaining a political voice in the United States enables Tibetans to be “ambassadors” for th…
We're Still in a Struggle
As part of a community/university collaborative effort to promote the mental health and well-being of Diné (Navajo) youth, we explored the relevance of addressing historical trauma and current structural stressors, and of building on individual and community strengths through healing and social transformation at multiple levels. Qualitative analyses of 74 ethnographic interviews with 37 Diné youth, parents, and grandparents suggested that a focus…
Kids at the Crossroads
The papers here examine the global circulation of both ideologies and practices that underlie the notion of "childhood," as well as the circulation or migration of children themselves. We ask what are the implications of the global circulation of constructions and practices of children and childhood, and how does the state involve itself in these processes? Specifically, the papers look at children and childhood in light of what Bock, Gaskins, an…

Tibet in Diaspora
This chapter aims to locate Tibet in terms of its geography, its strategic political and geographic position, and its history. It traces the paths of the Tibetan diaspora, addressing the center to which the diaspora constantly refers. It looks briefly at how Tibet has been referred to in the Western imagination in a geographical and political sense and highlights the relationship between Tibet and the United States prior to the flight of the Dala…
A New Home in Diaspora
This chapter examines how the 1,000 members of the TUSRP were welcomed in the United States. It focuses on the initial stages of resettlement, before family reunification, specifically the years 1992–1996. It notes that the same concerns of culture loss and change, politics, and economics arose again, but this time filtered through particular U.S. national interests at the time—anxiety over immigration and its attendant economic “burdens” and an …
Tibetans in India
This chapter examines the ways in which Tibetans conceive of culture and Tibetanness and how these are highlighted by the anxiety and excitement caused by increasing numbers of people choosing to go abroad. It highlights the distinction between “newcomers,” or recently arrived refugees from Tibet, and Tibetans born in exile, and their reasons for migration, and for staying in India. The chapter argues that such an examination helps in understandi…
Introduction
This chapter presents the main topics of the book, looking at the articulation of Tibetanness among stateless Tibetans in India and how this might be changing among those Tibetans who have resettled in the United States and are becoming U.S. citizens. It also describes the methodology for the book's multisited ethnographic research. The discussion provides a background of Tibetan identity in a globalizing world, an account that rethinks diasporic…
Conclusion
This chapter examines the state of Tibetans in the new world, arguing that they have a wider audience now and a broader array of tactics, and are acutely sensitive to the available discourses and their currency in global politics. With Tibetans' adoption of new technology, and their willingness to engage with Western, Chinese, and their own exilic discourses about Tibet and its relationship to China and the world, this chapter suggests that peopl…
“Tibetanness” Where There Is No Tibet
This chapter explores how Tibetan exiles formally frame the elements important to exile discourse. It argues that as stateless refugees, Tibetans must creatively wield well-worn concepts of “culture,” “nation,” and “modernity” in a world still ordered by nation-states. The discussion frames for the reader the way these ideas have been developed by the Dalai Lama, the government-in-exile, and other elites in Tibetan exile culture. This formalized …
Statelessness and the State
This chapter examines the processes by which Tibetans become U.S. citizens. It attempts to show how the state subjugates its members, while also showing the ways in which the state fails to subjugate its people. The analysis shows how U.S. Tibetans understand their own experiences, mobilize resistance, and negotiate with the state in ways that forge new subjectivities. This chapter explores the ways in which individual actors resist and negotiate…
Refugees to Citizens, Tibetans, and the State
This chapter starts by presenting the story of the flight of Ugyen Trinley Dorjee, the Karmapa, from Tibet to India and the subsequent problems his status as a refugee posed for the Indian government. The case of the Karmapa highlights various difficulties posed for the Indian and Chinese states by the facts of Tibetans' stateless status and presence. The chapter then traces the contours of the Tibetan diaspora in particular, examining the way va…
India, New Mexico, and the Specter of Tibet
This chapter explores the contours of the Tibetan diaspora, specifically those diasporic sites—the actual places where diasporic Tibetans live—where the research for this book was conducted. The chapter explicitly compares these sites along the primary axes that structure many of the chapters of the book, such as culture, politics, and economics—the areas many Tibetans referred to when talking about the impact of the expansion of the diaspora on …
“Culture Is Your Base Camp”
This chapter examines the work of cultural preservation by Tibetans in Santa Fe and the fulfillment of their ambassadorial role. It highlights new forms of Tibetanness that are emerging as the diaspora expands and a new generation of Tibetan youth comes of age. Focusing from the time period after family reunification, it discusses parental concerns that arose after the arrival of spouses and children, and the shift to cultural preservation and ed…
