移徙后调整受人口和健康特点以及国家资源的影响。自1989年以来，有一百多万人从前苏联移民到美国和以色列。这些国家在卫生系统和移民福利方面存在很大差异。本研究的目的是比较居住在美国和以色列的FSU中年妇女的抑郁情绪，控制人口统计学和健康特征。该分析包括72名女性，每个国家36名，这些女性构成了大型研究的子集，并在移民后的年龄和年龄上进行了匹配。女性年龄在42-70岁之间，在招募前移民不到8年。通过多元回归分析发现，生活在美国、自我报告的健康状况较低、患有关节炎的人抑郁得分较高。未来的跨国跨学科研究应着眼于确定具体的背景因素，这些因素将指导干预措施并影响新移民的卫生政策。
Postimmigration adjustment is affected by demographic and health characteristics, as well as national resources. Since 1989, more than a million people emigrated from the former Soviet Union (FSU) to the United States and Israel. These countries differ substantially in health systems and immigrant benefits. The purpose of this study is to compare depressed mood between midlife women from the FSU who reside in the United States and Israel, controlling for demographic and health characteristics. The analysis includes 72 women, 36 from each country, who comprise subsets of larger studies and were matched on age and years since immigration. Women were aged 42–70, and immigrated fewer than 8 years prior to recruitment. Using multiple regression analyses it was found that living in the United States, having lower self-reported health status, and having arthritis predicted higher depression scores. Future cross-national interdisciplinary research should be directed toward identifying specific contextual factors that will guide interventions and influence health policy for new immigrants.
