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. Time 1: May 2013 – January 2014 Time 2: June 2014 – August 2015 Time 3: December 2016 – February 2018, NOTE: Time 3 data are not available from ICPSR. Time 4: April 2018 – February 2019
