研究发现，歧视性经历与美国边缘化社区的不良心理健康结果和负面生活机会有关。然而，很少有人知道对拉丁美洲人的歧视的影响。本文回顾和批评现有的经验证据联系在一起的生活机会和拉丁美洲人的心理健康结果的歧视。文献中的空白表明，大多数歧视研究是在1980年代和1990年代初进行的，重点是墨西哥人，排除了其他拉丁美洲/西班牙裔人口，如多米尼加人和波多黎各人。这项研究的结果将有助于了解拉丁美洲人在美国的歧视经历。
Discriminatory experiences have been found to be related to poor mental health outcomes and negative life chances among marginalized communities in the United States. However, little is known about the impact of perceived discrimination on the Latino population. The present article reviews and critiques existing empirical evidence linking perceived discrimination to life chances and mental health outcomes among Latinos. The gaps in the literature reveal that most of the discrimination research was conducted in the 1980s and early 1990s, focused on Mexicans, and excluded other Latino/Hispanic populations, such as Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. The findings of this study will help to inform the understanding of the discriminatory experiences of Latinos in the United States.
