The Role of Ethnic Origin on Psychosocial Health in Portugal: An Examination of Risk and Protective Factors
Our results provide preliminary evidence for developing public social policies to care for ethnic minority groups living in Portugal. Further, findings highlight the high frequency of discrimination reported by this group and its associated mental health problems, which underscore the importance of investing in anti-discrimination campaigns, establishing formal and informal social support mechanisms, and developing social strategies to empower and increase the resilience of these minority groups in Portugal.
