There is a large literature gap in the study of the mental health and well-being of Iranian immigrants living in the United States. Despite the prevalence of this population, research is generally limited and contained to the last 30 years, when Iranians first began to immigrate to the United States in large numbers. This quantitative research study focuses upon the children of that first wave of immigrants, and is conducted using those second-generation Iranian-Americans who live in California, where the largest population of Iranian-Americans is concentrated. The study used two scales, the AFD and DASS21, to examine acculturation and the prevalence of depression among 58 second-generation Iranian immigrants aged 18 to 60 residing in the state of California. The study's 58 participants met one of two parameters: they were either born in the United States to Iranian immigrant parents; or they immigrated from Iran to the United States at or prior to the age of thirteen. After considering existing research on depression in immigrants, risk factors associated with depression, depressive differences between first and second-generation immigrants, depression among Iranian immigrants and second-generation Iranian immigrants in particular, acculturation and contributing roles it plays in Iranian immigrants and their mental health, the study was inconclusive in proving its proposed hypotheses. Nevertheless, both the strengths and limitations of this study are important additions to the limited body of research available regarding second-generation Iranian-American immigrants living in California.
