Abstract
The article refers to our study on the integration process of sub‐Saharan African migrants in Switzerland (Geneva and Vaud districts). We considered three dimensions of integration: education and professional insertion; identities and cultural memberships; and the perception of physical and mental health states. Our nonrepresentative sample was heterogenous and composed of 26 young people (14 born in Switzerland or arrived before 6 years and 12 young people arrived after 6 years). The qualitative research methods used were: semistructured interviews with youth, social, health and education professionals and with persons in charge of some sub-Saharan African migrant associations. A questionnaire on physical and mental health was also given to the sample of young people.
