这项研究考察了马萨诸塞州萨默维尔三个移民工人人口(巴西人、海地人和萨尔瓦多人)的便利抽样中职业健康风险的负担。在这项以社区为基础的研究计划(n=346)中，使用Logistic回归分析2006年至2009年收集的移民职业健康调查数据。在本研究中，工伤与较低的英语水平(OR=11.8，95%CI 1.1-3.0)、46岁至65岁的工人(OR=12.7，95%CI 1.0-7.0)、服务业工人(OR=113.8，95%CI 1.8-105.2)、生产工人(OR=110.8，95%CI 1.3-90.1)、建筑工人(OR：21.7，95%CI 2.8-170.9)和没有医疗保险的移民(OR=11.8，95%CI 1.0-3.1)。工伤与在美国的工龄呈负相关，在美国更成熟的移民在15年报告的工伤更多。与新移民相比，那些在美国生活时间更长、但英语不太熟练、仍然从事低薪工作、没有医疗保险的老年移民遭受的伤害更大。这一结果还需要进一步验证。
This study examines the burden of occupational health risks among a convenience sample of three immigrant worker populations (Brazilian, Haitian, and El Salvadoran) in Somerville, Massachusetts. In this community based research initiative (n = 346), logistic regression is used to analyze immigrant occupational health survey data collected from 2006 to 2009. In this study, injuries at work were significantly associated with lower English proficiency (OR = 1.8, 95 % CI 1.1–3.0), workers between the ages of 46 and 65 (OR = 2.7, 95 % CI 1.0–7.0), service workers (OR = 13.8, 95 % CI 1.8–105.2), production workers (OR = 10.8, 95 % CI 1.3–90.1), construction workers (OR: 21.7, 95 % CI 2.8–170.9) and immigrants with no health insurance (OR = 1.8, 95 % CI 1.0–3.1). Injuries were negatively associated with years in the US with more established immigrants in the US >15 years reporting more injuries at work. Older immigrants who have been in the US longer but are less proficient in English, and are still employed in low-wage occupations with no health insurance suffered more injuries than recent immigrants. Further validation of this result is required.
