目标。我们调查了居住在美国的拉丁美洲人中抑郁、焦虑和物质使用障碍的患病率。我们使用了来自全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究的数据，其中包括一个具有全国代表性的拉丁裔样本。我们计算了不同社会人口统计学、种族和移民群体中终生和过去一年精神疾病的加权患病率。终生精神障碍患病率估计男性为28.1%，女性为30.2%。波多黎各人在被评估的拉丁裔族群中总体患病率最高。在美国出生、精通英语和第三代拉丁裔中观察到精神疾病的发生率增加。我们的结果为拉丁美洲人精神问题的潜在相关因素提供了重要信息，可以为临床实践提供信息并指导项目发展。与文化嬗变相关的压力源可能对拉丁裔男性施加特别的压力。持续关注环境影响，特别是第三代拉丁裔，是药物滥用方案发展的一个重要领域。
Objectives. We examined the prevalence of depressive, anxiety, and substance use disorders among Latinos residing in the United States.Methods. We used data from the National Latino and Asian American Study, which included a nationally representative sample of Latinos. We calculated weighted prevalence rates of lifetime and past-year psychiatric disorders across different sociodemographic, ethnic, and immigration groups.Results. Lifetime psychiatric disorder prevalence estimates were 28.1% for men and 30.2% for women. Puerto Ricans had the highest overall prevalence rate among the Latino ethnic groups assessed. Increased rates of psychiatric disorders were observed among US-born, English-language-proficient, and third-generation Latinos.Conclusions. Our results provide important information about potential correlates of psychiatric problems among Latinos that can inform clinical practice and guide program development. Stressors associated with cultural transmutation may exert particular pressure on Latino men. Continued attention to environmental influences, especially among third-generation Latinos, is an important area for substance abuse program development.
