“…Previous scholarship has demonstrated that both recent migrators and more acculturated immigrants can experience high levels of stress relating to resettlement (Kritz and Gurak 2004;Krueger and Chang 2008) and perceived discrimination (Williams, Neighbors, and Jackson 2008), which may impact their physical health status (Finch and Vega 2003). However, scholars note that the migration process also relies on, and reinforces, strong social network support, as migrants often settle in areas where they know people and find other coethnic residents (Arnold 1989;Martin and Midgeley 2006;Sanders, Nee, and Sernan 2002;Vega et al 1991).

“…Efectivamente, la investigación también ha mostrado la importancia de la integración y el apoyo social para el ajuste psicosocial de los inmigrantes (Cheng, 1997;Díez-Nicolás, 2005;Leslie, 1992;Martínez, García y Maya, 1999;Mui, 2001;Vega, Kolody, Valle y Weir, 1991). Diversos estudios desarrollados en nuestro país con población inmigrante han constatado la importancia que tiene el apoyo social, especialmente en sus aspectos funcionales, en su bienestar y ajuste García-Ramírez, Martí-nez, Albar y Santolaya, 2002;Hernández, Alonso y Pozo, 2006;Hernández, Pozo, Alonso y Martos, 2005;Martínez, García y Maya, 2001.…”
