Objectives: This study validates the psychometric properties and correlates of the perceived context of reception (PCOR) scale, a measure of immigrant youth's perceptions of the openness or hostility of their receiving communities, among Hispanic and Somali adolescents.
Methods: Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) was conducted to assess the properties of PCOR among a sample of first- and second-generation Hispanic and Somali youth (N = 311) recruited in the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.
Results: CFA results provided evidence that the negative dimension of PCOR was structurally equivalent across ethnicity and generation and has acceptable internal consistency reliability. Negative perception of the receiving community's attitude toward newcomers was positively correlated with perceived discrimination, depressive symptoms, and anxiety.
Conclusion: Results suggest that negative PCOR is cross-ethnically valid and that perceptions of the receiving community should be considered an important component of immigrant adaptation.

Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Background: The rates of obesity among immigrant populations within the USA rise with increasing duration of residency. The aims of this study were to examine weight self-perception and body image discrepancy within a large community sample of Hispanic and Somali predominantly immigrant adults.
Methods: Utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to collect survey data from a sample of adults who self-identified as Hispanic, Latino, or Somali in Southeast Minnesota.
Purpose: The experience of ethnically diverse parents of children with serious illness in the US health care system has not been well studied. Listening to families from these communities about their experiences could identify modifiable barriers to quality pediatric serious illness care and facilitate the development of potential improvements. Our aim was to explore parents' perspectives of their children's health care for serious illness from Somali, Hmong, and Latin-American communities in Minnesota.
