这项研究使用了全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查（纵向成人样本）来估计按出生地和种族出身划分的流行性、后天性和持续性焦虑症的发生率，同时对文化适应、压力、社会关系和社会人口统计进行了调整。与美国出生的人相比，外国出生的人患普遍性和后天性焦虑症的可能性较小，但波多黎各和墨西哥出生的人的风险较高。外国出生和美国出生的持续病例相似，但亚洲/太平洋岛民的风险较低。压力和对非种族族裔群体社交的偏好与较高的获得性/持续性焦虑症发病率相关，而密切的关系则与较低的获得性/持续性焦虑症发病率相关。
This study used the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a longitudinal adult sample, to estimate the rates of prevalent, acquired, and persisting anxiety disorders by nativity and racial-ethnic origin while adjusting for acculturation, stress, social ties, and sociodemographics. Prevalent and acquired anxiety disorders were less likely among foreign-born than US-born, except Puerto-Rican- and Mexican-born who had higher risks. Persisting cases were similar between foreign-born and US-born, except Asian/Pacific Islanders’ lower risk. Stress and preference for socializing outside one’s racial-ethnic group were associated with higher while close ties were associated with lower rates of acquired/persisting anxiety disorders.
