在过去的十年中，来自南美洲和中美洲的拉丁裔移民（RLI）已经抵达美国，从受战争，政治动荡，高犯罪率和贫困率影响的国家寻求庇护。他们在移徙前所经历的压力和创伤，由于歧视、缺乏获得保健的机会和经济不稳定而在移徙后所经历的压力而进一步加剧。有证据表明，经历过这种压力和创伤的RLI患抑郁症状的风险增加。我们研究了移民前压力和创伤以及移民后压力对移民后抑郁症状的综合影响，我们还探讨了性别的调节作用。在南佛罗里达对540名年轻成人RLI（年龄范围：18-34岁，50.2%为男性）的横断面样本进行分层多元回归和适度分析。更高水平的迁移后应激，β = 0.37，p <0.001，与迁移后抑郁症状的增加相关。迁移前的压力和创伤以及迁移后的抑郁症状之间没有显著的联系。适度性分析显示，没有显着的交互作用的性别。事后分析表明，原籍国/地区调节了移民后压力和抑郁症状之间的关系，委内瑞拉人的相关性更强，β = 1.51，p <0.001;其他南美人，β = 1.06，p <0.001;和中美洲/墨西哥RLI，β = 1.38，p < .001，与加勒比地区RLI，β = .45，p =.122相比。这些研究结果表明，在移民过程的早期，专注于解决移民后压力的干预措施可能会降低RLI随后的抑郁症状。
In the past decade, recent Latinx immigrants (RLIs) from South and Central America have arrived in the United States seeking asylum from countries affected by war, political upheaval, and high crime and poverty rates. The premigration stress and trauma they experience are further compounded by postimmigration stress due to discrimination, lack of access to health care, and financial instability. Evidence suggests RLIs who experience such stress and trauma have an increased risk of developing depressive symptoms. We examined the combined effect of premigration stress and trauma and postimmigration stress on postimmigration depressive symptoms; we also explored the moderating effect of gender. Hierarchical multiple regression and moderation analyses were conducted on a cross-sectional sample of 540 young adult RLIs (age range: 18–34 years, 50.2% men) in South Florida. Higher levels of postimmigration stress, β = .37, p < .001, were associated with increased postimmigration depressive symptoms. No significant associations emerged between premigration stress and trauma and postimmigration depressive symptoms. Moderation analyses revealed no significant interaction effect of gender. Post hoc analyses indicated that country/region of origin moderated the relation between postimmigration stress and depressive symptoms such that the association was stronger among Venezuelan, β = 1.51, p < .001; other South American, β = 1.06, p < .001; and Central American/Mexican RLIs, β = 1.38, p < .001, compared with Caribbean RLIs, β = .45, p =.122. These findings suggest that interventions focused on addressing postimmigration stress early in the immigration process can potentially lower subsequent depressive symptoms among RLIs.
