本文提供了一系列的重要变量，从国家拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究（NLAAS）评估不同的拉丁裔群体之间的多样性。NLAAS是美国拉丁裔人口心理健康需求和心理健康服务使用的全国代表性研究。NLAAS采用分层区域概率抽样设计。NLAAS的拉丁裔部分有2,554名受访者。本文通过对各种变量的详细介绍，展示了拉丁裔群体在与美国文化接触时的不同经历。语言使用和移民经历在拉丁美洲群体内部和之间表现出相当大的差异，是分析其心理健康后果的有希望的领域。
This article provides a profile of a range of important variables for assessing diversity among different Latino groups from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). The NLAAS is a nationally representative study of the mental health needs and mental health services use of the Latino population of the United States. The NLAAS employs a stratified area probability sampling design. There are 2,554 respondents in the Latino portion of the NLAAS. The article demonstrates through a detailed presentation of a wide range of variables the diverse experiences of Latino groups in their encounters with U.S. culture. Language use and migration experiences show considerable variability within and across Latino groups and are promising areas for analysis of their mental health consequences.
