Abstract
This scoping review describes the available research on the experiences of Somali immigrant parents acculturating within Western countries including the U.S., Canada, South Africa, England, and Scandinavia. A total of 19 studies were identified that focused on Somali immigrant families, discussed parenting, and were written in English. Ten were published in peer-reviewed journals including in social work, mental health, and nursing. The other studies were reported in a book chapter and eight graduate-level theses. The studies were qualitative, and identified several themes related to parental strengths and stressors as they acculturated to Western countries. Stressors included conflicts between Western and Islamic values within racist contexts, shifting from communal to nuclear family parenting, and changes in family dynamics. Strengths included strong ties to spirituality, a deep commitment to family, and a strong love of and pride in their cultural identity. Implications for practice, policy, and research are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
