A comparative study of Venezuelan immigrants' pre- and post-migration concerns for their children in the United States and Colombia

Research suggests that forced migration may lead to cultural stress and psychological distress. However, little is known about immigrant parents' pre- and post-migration concerns for their children's welfare. The present study examined the concerns of Venezuelan parents who migrated to the...

description Research suggests that forced migration may lead to cultural stress and psychological distress. However, little is known about immigrant parents' pre- and post-migration concerns for their children's welfare. The present study examined the concerns of Venezuelan parents who migrated to the United States versus those who migrated to Colombia, and whether post-migration concerns were related to cultural stressors, mental health, and cultural identity. A sample of 609 Venezuelan immigrants completed surveys and responded to an open-ended prompt asking about pre- and post-migration concerns for children's welfare. Lack of safety was the most common pre-migration concern for Venezuelans in the U.S., whereas lack of food was the most common pre-migration concern for Venezuelans in Colombia. More years in the destination country since arrival were linked to heightened economic concerns and reduced worries about family separation. A positive link emerged between national identity and health-related concerns for children following migration. This knowledge can inform policies and programs to better support immigrant families as they navigate the challenges of forced migration.
