Introduction: Latinx Millennial caregivers are an understudied minority group in the United States. Due to life stage and cultural values, these caregivers struggle to balance conflicting priorities with career, family, and caregiving. They also face systemic barriers and healthcare disparities.
Methods: Participants ( = 29) were recruited locally and nationally. Qualitative data were collected using five focus groups and one individual interview. Interviews were analyzed by seven coders using thematic analysis with an inductive approach.
Results: Meta-themes included (a) the Latinx experience with culture, immigrant status, and structural barriers; and (b) being a super caregiver: being everything to everyone. Additional main themes were identified including family well-being, occupational and financial well-being, social support dynamics, challenges and rewards of family caregiving, and coping strategies.
Discussion: Clinical interventions for Latinx Millennial caregivers should address cultural background, value of family/community, and systemic barriers for care and support.

Experiences of discrimination are prevalent among minority populations, although often empirical evidence does not provide depth into the source and types of discrimination, such as racial/ethnic, gender-based, age, etc. The goal of this study was to assess the unique patterns, types, and sources of discrimination experiences that college students face and explore the role these experiences play in their mental health. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods study was utilized.
