背景美国移民是工作场所内外凶杀死亡的不成比例的受害者。考察他们遭受非致命性伤害的经历可能有助于了解移民对暴力的易感性。方法我们利用第一波全国酒精及相关条件流行病学调查的数据，比较了移民和美国出生的成年人在社会人口学、就业、职业、行业、吸烟、酒精和药物使用方面经历的非致命性个人受害的年流行率。结果移民的受害发生率与美国出生的成年人相似[3.84%(95%CI：3.18-4.63)vs.4.10%(95%CI：3.77-4.44)]。与在美国出生的那些群体相比，在30-44岁的未婚人群中，以及在中心城区的居民中，移民经历的受害比例较低。对于年轻时进入美国的移民，受害发生率随着在美国居住年限的增加而下降。多因素Logistic回归模型显示，年龄、家庭收入、婚姻状况、中心城市居住地、吸烟和吸毒与受害几率显著相关，而就业状况不是显著因素。从事农业/林业职业的移民工人可能比在美国出生的移民工人面临更高的暴力受害者风险。结论移民的受害发生率与在美国出生的成年人相当。就业状况和行业/职业总体上不是成为暴力受害者的重大风险因素。上午好。J.Ind.地中海医院。2010年，53：435-442。©2010 Wiley-Liss公司。
BackgroundImmigrants to the United States are disproportionately victims of homicide mortality in and outside the workplace. Examining their experiences with nonfatal victimization may be helpful in understanding immigrant vulnerability to violence.MethodsWe compared the annual prevalence of nonfatal personal victimization experienced by immigrant and US‐born adults by sociodemographics, employment, occupation, industry, smoking, alcohol and drug use using data from Wave 1 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions.ResultsThe prevalence of victimization among immigrants was comparable to that among US‐born adults [3.84% (95% CI: 3.18–4.63) vs. 4.10% (95% CI: 3.77–4.44)]. Lower percentages of victimization experienced by immigrants were seen among the unmarried, those age 30–44 years, and among residents of central city areas as compared to those groups among the US‐born. For immigrants entering the US as youth, the victimization prevalence declines with greater years of residency in US. Multivariate logistic regression models suggest that, the odds of victimization was significantly associated with age, family income, marital status, central city residency, smoking, and drug use while employment status was not a significant factor. Immigrant workers with farming/forestry occupations might face a higher risk of being victims of violence than their US‐born counterparts.ConclusionsThe prevalence of victimization among immigrants was comparable to that among US‐born adults. Employment status and industry/occupation overall were not significant risk factors for becoming victims of violence. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:435–442, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
