Little is known about alcohol misuse and depression among Latino day laborers despite the fact that they encounter multiple stressors (e.g., job instability, unsafe work environments). A structural equation model tested the relationships among laborer stress, social support, health status, current alcohol misuse, and depression. A sample of 89 male, urban Latino day laborers completed measures assessing these constructs in 2011. Stress was negatively related to physical health status, which was associated with depression. Findings suggest that stressors specific to being a day laborer resulting from their work and living conditions generate and maintain health disparities in this vulnerable population.
尽管拉丁裔日工面临多种压力源（如工作不稳定、工作环境不安全），但对于他们中酒精滥用和抑郁的情况却知之甚少。一个结构方程模型检验了劳动者压力、社会支持、健康状况、当前酒精滥用和抑郁之间的关系。2011年，对89名城市拉丁裔男性日工进行了抽样，他们完成了评估这些构念的测量。压力与身体健康状况呈负相关，而身体健康状况又与抑郁相关。研究结果表明，日工因其工作和生活条件所特有的压力源在这一弱势群体中产生并维持了健康差异。
