The present study was designed to examine how pre-migration crisis exposures and post-migration cultural stressors (acculturative stress, discrimination, and negative context of reception) independently and interactively predict depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among Venezuelan youth resettling in the US and Colombia.
