- Abstract
This methodological report on the research project "Recent Immigration Processes and Early Integration Trajectories in Germany" (ENTRA) provides information about the study's research design and data collection. The main objective of the ENTRA project was to collect data on recent immigrants in Germany, covering immigration and settlement dynamics, as well as their integration trajectories. The study consists of a two-wave panel survey of four different immigrant groups: Italians, Poles, Syrians, and Turks. Viewing integration as a mul-tidimensional process, we focused on different aspects of immigrant integration, including language skills and use, ethnic and national identities, ethnic boundaries, political participation, religious belonging and practices, social contacts and networks, educational attainment, labor market participation, and health. The panel study was designed as a multimodal survey that was administered in the national language of the respective immigrant groups. In total, 4,448 immigrants and refugees participated in the first survey wave, and longitudinal data of both panel waves is available for 3,366 cases.
