Exploring acculturative stress and coping mechanisms among pregnant South Asian immigrants in Ontario, Canada: A qualitative study protocol
This project will enhance understanding of PSAIs' acculturation experiences in Ontario, identify gaps in current supports, explore coping mechanisms, and assess needs. Findings will inform culturally safe interventions and resources and lay the foundation for future interdisciplinary studies focused on co-designing, implementing, and evaluating culturally relevant supports for PSAIs.
