关于生活在美国南部的农场工人家庭中的拉丁裔妇女的心理健康的研究很少，拉丁裔移民是相对较新的移民。这项研究探讨了人际关系的相关因素（家庭冲突、家庭外向性、和社会相关因素（居住流动性和经济不安全）的抑郁症状，并满足阈值的抑郁症状，可能是临床上显着的（流行病学中心抑郁[CES-D]短量表的临界点为10分或更高）生活在北卡罗来纳州的农场工人家庭中的拉丁裔人。数据收集时间为2011年4月19日至2012年4月20日，作为Niños Sanos的一部分，这是一项针对拉丁美洲妇女和儿童的前瞻性研究（N = 248）。回归模型显示，暴露于家庭冲突，感知歧视和经济不安全感与更多的抑郁症状有关。同样，感知到的歧视和经济不安全感与抑郁症状的阈值相关，这些症状可能具有临床意义，高于家庭冲突。研究结果表明，减少对农场工人及其家庭的歧视和减少经济不安全的政策，以及支持积极家庭功能的干预措施，可能有利于生活在新移民目的地的农场工人家庭中的拉丁裔人的心理健康。
Little research is available about the mental health of Latina women in farmworker families living in the South United States, where Latino immigrants are relatively recent arrivals. This study examined interpersonal correlates (family conflict, family’s outward orientation, and perceived discrimination) and social correlates (residential mobility and economic insecurity) of depressive symptoms and of meeting a threshold of depressive symptoms that could be clinically significant (a cut-point of 10 or higher in a short Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression [CES-D] Scale) among Latinas in farmworker families living in North Carolina. Data were collected from April 19, 2011, to April 20, 2012 as part of Niños Sanos, a prospective study of Latino women and children (N = 248). Regression models showed that exposure to family conflict, perceived discrimination, and economic insecurity were associated with more depressive symptoms. Likewise, perceived discrimination and economic insecurity were associated with a threshold of depressive symptoms that could be clinically significant, above and beyond family conflict. The findings suggested that policies that lessen the discrimination of farmworkers and their families and reduce economic insecurity, as well as interventions that support positive family functioning might be beneficial for the mental health of Latinas in farmworker families living in new immigrant destinations.
