Abstract

South Asians form Canada's largest visible minority but face notable health inequities. Specifically, South Asian immigrant youth (SAIY) confront challenges like racial discrimination, stigma, and acculturative stress due to their marginalised identities. Limited research exists on the barriers they face adjusting to Canadian life. We interviewed two groups: SAIY aged 15–24 (N = 23) and unrelated parents of SAIY (N = 13). Analysing both generations helped capture young SAIY's challenges and parental insights. Our findings underscore the varied experiences of SAIY in Edmonton, Alberta, highlighting the need for better accessibility to social and healthcare services. This study offers a foundation for future research on SAIY's needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
