The purpose of this study was to examine demographic factors associated with health care barriers among Mexican (n = 258) and Guatemalan (n = 143) immigrants in Cincinnati, a nontraditional destination (new migration area). Three primary results emerged: length of US residence was not associated with fewer health care barriers, Mexican women and younger Guatemalans endorsed fewer skills-related barriers, and childless Guatemalans reported more barriers to care the longer they reside in the United States, when compared with Guatemalans with children. Our study highlights the importance of disaggregating data to create more tailored interventions to eliminate health disparities for Latinos.
本研究的目的是调查在非传统移民目的地(新移民地区)辛辛那提的墨西哥移民(n = 258)和危地马拉移民(n = 143)中,与医疗保健障碍相关的人口统计学因素。出现了三个主要结果:在美国居住的时长与较少的医疗保健障碍无关;墨西哥女性和较年轻的危地马拉人认可较少的与技能相关的障碍;与有子女的危地马拉人相比,无子女的危地马拉人在美国居住时间越长,报告的医疗保健障碍越多。我们的研究强调了对数据进行分类以制定更具针对性的干预措施以消除拉丁裔健康差异的重要性。
