BackgroundThe personal and social impact of mental health problems and substance use on workforce participation is costly. Social determinants of health contribute significantly to health disparities beyond effects associated with work. Guided by a theory‐driven model, we identified pathways by which social determinants shape immigrant worker health.MethodAssociations between known social determinants of mental health problems and substance use (social discrimination, job and employment concerns, and social support) were examined using structural equation modeling in a sample of 1,397 immigrants from the Filipino American Community Epidemiological Study.ResultsSocial discrimination and low social support were associated with mental health problems and substance use (P< 0.05). Job and employment concerns were associated with mental health problems, but not substance use.ConclusionsThe integration of social factors into occupational health research is needed, along with prevention efforts designed for foreign‐born ethnic minority workers.
