2019冠状病毒病大流行凸显了根深蒂固的健康差距，尤其是生活在墨西哥-美国边境的拉丁裔移民。本文调查了人群之间的差异和对COVID-19预防措施的依从性。这项研究调查了拉丁裔新移民，非拉丁裔白人和讲英语的拉丁裔在态度和遵守COVID-19预防措施方面是否存在差异。数据来自302名参与者，他们于2021年3月至7月期间在其中一个项目地点接受了免费COVID-19检测。参与者居住在COVID-19检测条件较差的社区。选择用西班牙语完成基线调查是作为一个新移民的代表。调查指标包括PhenX工具包、COVID-19缓解行为、对COVID-19风险行为和戴口罩的态度，以及COVID-19大流行期间的经济挑战。通过多重插补，使用普通最小二乘（OLS）回归分析了对COVID-19风险的缓解态度和行为的组间差异。调整后的OLS回归分析显示，与非拉丁裔白人相比，接受西班牙语调查的拉丁裔白人认为COVID-19风险行为更不安全（B = 0.38，p = 0.001），对戴口罩的态度更积极（B = 0.58，p = 0.016）。在英语和非拉丁裔白人之间没有显着差异（p > 0.05）。尽管面临重大的结构性、经济和系统性劣势，但最近的拉丁裔移民对公共卫生COVID-19缓解措施的态度比其他群体更为积极。这些发现对未来关于社区复原力、实践和政策的预防研究具有影响。 在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1007/s11121-023-01512-6获得。
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted deep-rooted health disparities, particularly among Latinx immigrants living on the Mexico–US border. This article investigates differences between populations and adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures. This study investigated whether there are differences between Latinx recent immigrants, non-Latinx Whites, and English-speaking Latinx in their attitudes and adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures. Data came from 302 participants who received a free COVID-19 test at one of the project sites between March and July 2021. Participants lived in communities with poorer access to COVID-19 testing. Choosing to complete the baseline survey in Spanish was a proxy for being a recent immigrant. Survey measures included the PhenX Toolkit, COVID-19 mitigating behaviors, attitudes toward COVID-19 risk behaviors and mask wearing, and economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. With multiple imputation, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was used to analyze between-group differences in mitigating attitudes and behaviors toward COVID-19 risk. Adjusted OLS regression analyses showed that Latinx surveyed in Spanish perceived COVID-19 risk behaviors as more unsafe (b = 0.38, p = .001) and had stronger positive attitudes toward mask wearing (b = 0.58, p = .016), as compared to non-Latinx Whites. No significant differences emerged between Latinx surveyed in English and non-Latinx Whites (p > .05). Despite facing major structural, economic, and systemic disadvantages, recent Latinx immigrants showed more positive attitudes toward public health COVID-19 mitigating measures than other groups. The findings have implications for future prevention research about community resilience, practice, and policy.
