abstract="Despite the deleterious mental health and health consequences experiences of perceived discrimination can have on ethnic and racial minorities in the United States, a dearth of qualitative studies exist to develop a better understanding of such experiences. As part of a larger study examining psychosocial stress events, and in an effort to fill this gap, this study sought to explore stressful life experiences of intergroup and within-group perceived discrimination among a heterogeneous sample of U.S.-born and foreign-born Latino youth (n = 170) residing in Los Angeles, California, and Trenton, New Jersey. Focus group methodology was implemented, and data were analyzed using grounded theory and constant comparison method. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that Latino youths' experiences of intergroup and within-group discrimination vary by nativity status and region of the United States. <br><br>FINDINGS may be helpful for researchers, practitioners, and others working with Latino youth.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
