Community organizations: n/a

Future research / gaps identified: African immigrant women are a highly heterogeneous group, so future studies should account for these different identities and experiences.

Integration timeline: not defined

Key findings:

• Most participants were recruited by using already established social networks in the community.

• Other successful recruitment strategies included:

  • Referral from community partners (i.e., immigrant organizations, cultural association, religious institutions)
  • Through other participants
  • Utilizing an online survey tool (i.e., Qualtrics)
  • Through family and friend networks (i.e., word-of-mouth).

Key populations: African immigrant mothers who now live in Alberta

Key recommendations: Implement the aforementioned recruitment strategies in future research with African immigrant women.
