Robust research continues to broaden and deepen the field's understanding of immigrants' ethnic-racial identity and mental health. We highlight opportunities to pioneer the literature by questioning “who” is meant by immigrant (clearly defining generational status, going beyond covariate and difference-based approaches, focusing on immigrants from understudied ethnic-racial backgrounds), “what” is meant by identity (ethnic/heritage/native, conjoined with multiple identities such as national, regional, politicized), “where” experiences are taking place (globalization, differences in how immigrants are defined and viewed across contexts), and the “why” or importance of continuing this work (identity as resilience against mental health risks). Targeting under-researched intersections among the “who-what-where-why” can build knowledge and insight for researchers and practitioners who work with immigrant families, and perhaps for immigrants themselves.

强有力的研究继续拓宽和加深该领域对移民的种族身份和心理健康的理解。我们通过质疑“谁”是指移民（明确定义代际地位，超越基于协变量和差异的方法，关注来自未被充分研究的种族背景的移民）来强调开创文学的机会，“什么”是指身份（种族/遗产/本地人，与多种身份相结合，例如国家、地区、政治化）、“在哪里”经历正在发生（全球化、在不同背景下定义和看待移民的差异），以及继续的“为什么”或重要性这项工作（作为对心理健康风险的复原力的身份）。
