The immigrants were socio-demographically characterized and the level of perceived discrimination, level of coping, and psychological well-being were measured. The correlation between the variables was calculated using bivariate analysis (Spearman's Rho coefficient, 95% CI) and multivariate analysis (RLO), analyzed with SPSS version 27 software.
Results: Mean age of immigrants 34.4±36.7 years, 72.48% women, 61.75 % university education, predominantly of Cuban origin 50.34%, 81.21% with permanent residence, 74.50% rented.
