The prevalence of psychological distress and its association with ethnic discrimination was examined among 13,703 participants (36 to 79 years of age) in a population-based study of health and living conditions in areas with indigenous Sami, Kven (descendants of Finnish immigrants), and Ethnic Norwegian populations (the SAMINOR study). Sami and Kven males reported greater levels of stress than Ethnic Norwegians. Ethnic discrimination was strongly associated with elevated levels of psychological distress. Results suggest that ethnic discrimination is a major potential risk factor for poor mental health, and may contribute to ethnicity-related differences in mental health between Sami and non-Sami populations.
在一项针对具有萨米、克文（芬兰移民后裔）和挪威少数民族人口的健康和生活条件的基于人群的研究中，对 13703 名参与者（36 至 79 岁）进行了心理困扰的流行率及其与种族歧视的关系的研究。萨米和克文男性比挪威人报告了更高水平的压力。种族歧视与心理困扰的严重程度密切相关。结果表明，种族歧视是心理健康不良的一个主要潜在危险因素，可能导致萨米和非萨米人群之间心理健康方面存在种族相关的差异。
