Immigrant adolescents are a especially vulnerable group to substance abuse and to sexual risk behaviors. In consequence, the promotion of their health, well-being, and
psychosocial adaptation is a matter of strategic interest. The aim of this project is to analyze the relationship between
perceived well-being of immigrant adolescents, health behaviors and stressful life events in immigrants and native
adolescents. We expect to gather relevant data to analyze factors that may influence the well-being immigrant adolescent and to contribute with guidelines that may improve
health promotion programs.
