This study uses social capital to assess the effects of social support on acculturation-related stress among recently immigrated Hispanics in South Florida before and after immigration. At baseline ( N = 527), first 12 months in the United States, acculturative stress was negatively related to support from friends ( p < .044) and positively related to support from parents ( p < .023). At first follow-up ( n = 415), 24 months in the United States, emotional/informational support was negatively associated with acculturation-related stress ( p < .028). In the second follow-up ( n = 478), 36 months in the United States, support from children was negatively associated with acculturation-related stress ( p < .016). Limited English proficiency was found to be negatively associated with acculturation stress at all three points ( p < .001, p < .025, and p < .001, respectively). Implications of this study can be used in the design of culturally appropriate and family-oriented interventions for recent immigrants to ease the acculturation process
