The present study aims to examine the extent to which adolescents of immigrant background experience acculturative stress (i.e., cultural clashes with parents and ethnic victimization in school) in multiple contexts, and the reasons why such stress takes a toll on their psychological functioning and views of themselves. The analytic sample includes adolescents of immigrant background residing in Sweden (N = 423, M = 13.19, SD = 0.51). Cluster analysis revealed five distinct groups of adolescents, based on their reports of cultural clashes with parents and ethnic victimization in school: (1) low on both acculturative stressors, (2) average on both acculturative stressors, (3) high on cultural clashes only, (4) high on ethnic victimization only, and (5) high on both acculturative stressors. Mediation analysis showed that adolescents who experienced cultural clashes at home and who were also victimized by their peers in school reported higher levels of feeling in between cultures than adolescents in all the other clusters (except those high on cultural clashes only), and in turn reported higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of self-esteem. The present study highlights the importance of understanding immigrant youth's experiences across multiple contexts simultaneously in order to develop a holistic perspective on their adjustment and integration processes.

Objective: This article draws on research that sought to understand both the experiences of a group of victims and survivors with related professional expertise consulting to a public inquiry, and the impact they had on the operation of the inquiry.

Background: Over the past two decades, the prevalence of chronic pain has significantly increased globally, with approximately 20% of the world's population living with pain.

Introduction: Despite the recognized link between prenatal alcohol consumption and various congenital anomalies, the negative consequences for women's own health and family health, as well as the work done in healthcare to prevent alcohol in pregnancy, the acceptance of alcohol use during pregnancy persists in numerous communities around the world. Knowledge about women's alcohol use in pregnancy and how it relates to the social and cultural context they are part of is important to help and support women in abstaining during pregnancy. This meta-ethnography aims to offer a novel interpretation and conceptual understanding of the experiences of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy by synthesizing insights from existing qualitative studies.
