First,due to the sampling design of the CILS,our findings are not generalizable to all Latino adolescents with recent immigration histories.The CILS sampled two metropolitan areas of the United States and while these areas are relevant in terms of understanding the experiences of Latino adolescents,they exclude the subset of the Latino population living elsewhere.Additionally,although the follow up response rate was high (81.5%)and portes and Rivas (2011)found little evidence of substantial differences across waves,attrition bias is possible.
