Purpose: While many studies address immigrant integration, few focus on the adjustment process for unaccompanied immigrant children in foster care in the United States- and even fewer look at community level prevention and intervention strategies for positive youth adjustment. This study uses a human rights framework to examine community level facilitators- both prevention and interventions- that aid the adjustment for unaccompanied immigrant children in foster care as they navigate life in the US. Method: Seventy-nine service providers that work with unaccompanied immigrant children participated in 22 focus groups/interviews. Open coding was used to create a codebook, and then data were qualitatively analyzed using deductive and axial coding. Results: The major prevention strategies for community adjustment include welcoming communities and inter-agency collaborations. The major intervention strategies for systems level adjustment include community relationships, access to healthcare, and the church as an institution. Discussion: Implications include advocating for funding and programming to support mentors for every child, advocating for welcoming policies, and engaging unaccompanied immigrant children in research using participatory approaches.

目的：虽然许多研究涉及移民融合，但很少关注美国寄养中无人陪伴的移民儿童的调整过程，而关注社区层面的积极青少年适应的预防和干预策略则更少。本研究使用人权框架来检查社区层面的促进因素——包括预防和干预措施——这些因素有助于在无人陪伴的移民儿童在美国生活中进行调整。方法：79 名服务于无人陪伴的移民儿童的服务提供者参加了 22 个焦点小组/访谈。使用开放编码创建密码本，然后使用演绎和轴向编码对数据进行定性分析。结果：社区调整的主要预防策略包括欢迎社区和机构间合作。系统层面调整的主要干预策略包括社区关系、获得医疗保健和教会作为一个机构。讨论：影响包括倡导资助和规划以支持每个孩子的导师，倡导欢迎政策，以及使用参与式方法让无人陪伴的移民儿童参与研究。
