本研究报告的流行程度和相关的感知歧视之间的一个国家样本的拉丁美洲人在美国。了解歧视的普遍性和相关性可以帮助我们更好地解决医疗保健系统中的差距。作者将感知到的歧视定义为自我报告的不公平待遇的日常经历。Logistic回归分析被用来评估拉丁美洲人之间的歧视率，并确定歧视的相关因素。数据来自全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究（NLAAS）。在拉丁美洲人中，歧视的发生率为30%。与其他拉丁裔亚群体或种族认同感较低的拉丁裔相比，古巴人和种族认同感较高的拉丁裔不太可能受到歧视。在美国出生的拉丁美洲人和在年轻时到达美国的拉丁美洲人与年龄较大的移民相比更有可能受到歧视。据报告，拉丁美洲人受到的歧视不如其他少数民族普遍。不同种族群体之间的社会人口和文化差异与歧视感知的差异有关。(c)2008 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
This study reports on the prevalence and correlates of perceived discrimination among a national sample of Latinos in the United States. Understanding the prevalence and correlates of discrimination can help us better address disparities in the health care system. The authors define perceived discrimination as self-reported everyday experiences of unfair treatment. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess rates of perceived discrimination among Latinos and identify correlates of discrimination. Data came from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). The prevalence of perceived discrimination among Latinos was 30%. Cubans and Latinos with high ethnic identity were less likely to perceive discrimination compared to other Latino subgroups or Latinos with low ethnic identity. American-born Latinos and Latinos arriving in the United States at younger ages were more likely to perceive discrimination compared to immigrants arriving at older ages. Perceived discrimination among Latinos is less prevalent than what has been reported for other minorities. Variations in perceived discrimination are related to sociodemographic and cultural differences across ethnic subgroups. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
