We measured perceived discrimination and its association with common mental disorders among workers in the United Kingdom.
We conducted a secondary analysis of a national sample of 6 ethnic groups (n=2054). Discrimination was measured as reports of insults; unfair treatment at work; or job denial stemming from race, religion, or language. The outcome assessed was presence of common mental disorders.
The risk of mental disorders was highest among ethnic minority individuals reporting unfair treatment (odds ratio [OR]=2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.2, 3.2) and racial insults (OR=2.3; 95% CI=1.4, 3.6). The overall greatest risks were observed among Black Caribbeans exposed to unfair treatment at work (OR=2.9; 95% CI=1.2, 7.3) and Indian (OR=3.1; 95% CI=1.4, 7.2), Bangladeshi (OR=32.9; 95% CI=2.5, 436.0), and Irish (OR=2.9; 95% CI=1.1, 7.6) individuals reporting insults.
Racial/ethnic discrimination shows strong associations with common mental disorders.
我们对英国工人的感知歧视及其与常见精神障碍的关联进行了测量。
我们对一个包含6个种族群体的全国样本(n = 2054)进行了二次分析。歧视通过侮辱报告、工作中的不公平待遇或因种族、宗教或语言导致的工作拒绝来衡量。评估的结果是是否存在常见精神障碍。
在报告遭受不公平待遇的少数族裔个体中,患精神障碍的风险最高(优势比[OR]=2.0;95%置信区间[CI]=1.2, 3.2),以及遭受种族侮辱的个体(OR=2.3;95% CI=1.4, 3.6)。在工作中遭受不公平待遇的加勒比黑人(OR=2.9;95% CI=1.2, 7.3)以及报告遭受侮辱的印度人(OR=3.1;95% CI=1.4, 7.2)、孟加拉人(OR=32.9;95% CI=2.5, 436.0)和爱尔兰人(OR=2.9;95% CI=1.1, 7.6)中观察到总体最高风险。
种族/族裔歧视与常见精神障碍显示出强烈关联。
