Abstract
This is a proposed study on the interplay of mental health and substance use among Salvadorian immigrants residing in the United States. Based on previous research, there is very limited data collected on the experience of Salvadorian Immigrants in residing in the United States. The limited data that exists focuses on the experience of Salvadorian immigrants is not assessed separately from the experience of other Hispanic or Latino immigrant populations. Salvadorian Immigrants have unique experiences and face unique barriers with mental health and substance use that is misrepresented and misunderstood. This is proposed study aims to benefit social work practice at better understanding the unique experiences of Salvadorian Immigrants to develop accurate resources and therapy approaches more specific to the needs of Salvadorian Immigrants.
