New Jersey Immigrant Health Promotion Project
The New Jersey Immigrant Health Promotion Project, funded by the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a community-based research project
designed to gather qualitative and quantitative data exploring the
relationships between alcohol and other drugs (AOD) service access
and utilization, and parenting practices and cultural variables such
as acculturation and ethnic identify. The project uses a mixed methods
approach (face-to-face interviews and surveys) to gather data from
immigrant parents from Latin America and the Caribbean residing in
New Jersey counties with large numbers of immigrants - including
Essex, Hudson, Passaic, Union and the Southwest counties of Cumberland,
Salem and Gloucester. This research is currently in progress and
will be used to inform the development or enhancement of culturally-relevant
AOD and related services for immigrant families and children.
