This study investigates the social network factors that impact Mexican immigrants' ability to access and use dental care. It also explores the anxiety associated with moving to a new place. Social Networks Analysis (SNA) will be used to understand how social norms, attitudes, resources, and information about dental care and oral health are influenced by personal and community networks.
Participants will answer survey questions about their social networks and how these networks affect their dental care access and oral health behaviors. The study will look at how these networks support or undermine access to dental care. Participants will be compensated for their time.
- Who can participate: Participants must be born in Mexico to at least one Mexican parent and have migrated to the US within the last 3 months or 2-5 years ago. They must be named by another participant and speak and read Spanish or English.
- Study details: Participants will complete surveys about their social networks and dental care experiences. The study uses Social Networks Analysis to understand these relationships. Participants will receive compensation for their involvement.
