The Somali Youth Longitudinal Study collected data on Somali-American youth at four time points between 2013-2019. The study was originally designed to address concerns in the Somali community over youth violence. The study broadened its focus to adopt a life-course perspective to examine Somali immigrant experiences with discrimination and marginalization associated with religion, race, ethnicity, and immigration status, and their relationship to health outcomes. Data is restricted.
