Pathways to wellness: Exploring Muslim mental health promotion in the digital age

In the current sociopolitical climate, American Muslims face increased levels of discrimination, which is associated with poor mental health. This study explores the use of social networking sites for mental health promotion by organizations serving American Muslims and provides recommendations for effective population level mental health promotion.
