Article Synopsis
- This paper outlines a multilevel research study aimed at understanding how environmental factors affect the mental health of both native Spanish and Ecuadorian immigrant populations.
- The study involved a comprehensive questionnaire and collected data from a random sample of 1186 adults in several Spanish cities between September 2006 and January 2007, achieving a high response rate and addressing challenges in participant localization.
- The findings highlight the need to critically assess sampling strategies in similar studies, especially given budget constraints and the lack of social integration indicators at the neighborhood level.
