“…This orientation makes it necessary to look for innovative strategies in order to integrate both support systems. In our opinion, this latter approach is particularly relevant in social interventions with immigrant populations, given the low use of formal services that has been observed in our research, as well as in other studies conducted in Spain (Martínez et al, 1996;Maya, 1999) and other countries (Cho, 1998;Die & Seelbach, 1988;Leslie, 1992;Moon et al, 1998;Lynam, 1985).…”

“…Diverse investigations have shown that immigrants' knowledge and use of formal support is usually very low, as compared to their needs (Die & Seelbach, 1988;Leslie & Leitch, 1989;Lynam, 1985;Martínez, García, Maya, Rodríguez, & Checa, 1996;Moon, Lubben, & Villa, 1998). Some of the barriers for service use that have been found in these populations are: (1) language and cultural differences, given the difficulty of communicating adequately with professionals; (2) problems of accesibility, as a result of physical segregation; (3) lack of confidence, particularly in the case of illegal immigrants; (4) incompatibility with working hours, among others.…”

“…Esta divergencia podemos atribuirla en parte a las diversas poblaciones de las que se ha derivado cada clasificación, ya que el desplazamiento internacional experimentado por los participantes en nuestro estudio supone la ruptura -al menos temporalmente-con los vínculos familiares, y, en consecuencia, recurrir al grupo de iguales disponible -generalmente otros compatriotas emigrantes-es la primera y más habitual vía de reconstrucción de la red. Si bien el examen de Litwin también se realizó con inmigrantes rusos en Israel, consistió en una muestra de ancianos, por lo que es más probable que contasen con antecedentes familiares en el país de destino (Angel y Angel, 1992;Bialik-Gilad, 1988;Die y Seelbach, 1988;Ikels, 1986) y, por tanto, que entrasen a formar parte desde el primer momento de reasentamiento de sus redes sociales.…”

“…De acuerdo con las conclusiones de la literatura al respecto, la norma general de acudir en primer lugar a los grupos naturales para solicitar ayuda sólo se rompe o bien por la especificidad del problema -salud, documentación, educación-o bien por la insuficiencia de las redes naturales (Die y Seelbach, 1988;Griffith, 1984;Griffith y Villavicencio, 1985;Ikels, 1986;Leslie, 1992;Lynam, 1985;Patel, 1992;Raymond, Rhoads y Raymond, 1980;Zhang, Snowden y Sue,1998). En un estudio representativo de los africanos residentes en Andalucía, comprobamos que la fuente inicial de ayuda para la mayoría de los inmigrantes eran los amigos, seguidos, por motivos de composición de la red, por la familia.…”
