过去十年中，从美国驱逐到墨西哥的人数大幅增加。考虑到驱逐出境是一种压力事件，对心理健康有潜在影响，我们的目的是（1）估计被驱逐移民中常见精神障碍（CMD）的患病率； (2)探讨该群体的迁徙经历、社会支持和心理变量与CMD之间的关系。在边境遣返点，被驱逐者的概率样本填写了自我报告问卷（SRQ）。 CMD 患病率为 16.0% (95% CI 12.3, 20.6)。在美国的时间和 SRQ 分数之间存在 U 形关联。时间回到墨西哥，配偶在美国、家庭成员人数、社会支持较少、焦虑作为人格特质以及回避型应对方式与 SRQ 得分直接相关。公共卫生政策应解决被驱逐移民的心理保健需求。
Deportations from the Unites States (US) to Mexico increased substantially during the last decade. Considering deportation as a stressful event with potential consequences on mental health, we aimed to (1) estimate the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) among deported migrants; and (2) explore the association between migratory experience, social support and psychological variables, and CMD in this group. In repatriation points along the border, a probability sample of deportees responded to the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ). The prevalence of CMD was 16.0 % (95 % CI 12.3, 20.6). There was a U-shaped association between time in the US and SRQ score. Times returned to Mexico, having a spouse in the US, number of persons in household, less social support, anxiety as a personality trait, and avoidant coping style were directly associated with SRQ score. Public health policies should address the need for mental health care among deported migrants.
