To examine the prevalence of self-reported criminal and violent behavior, substance use disorders, and mental disorders among Mexican immigrants vis-à-vis the US born.
Study findings are based on national data collected between 2012 and 2013. Binomial logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between immigrant status and behavioral/psychiatric outcomes.
Mexican immigrants report substantially lower levels of criminal and violent behaviors, substance use disorders, and mental disorders compared to US-born individuals.
While some immigrants from Mexico have serious behavioral and psychiatric problems, Mexican immigrants in general experience such problems at far lower rates than US-born individuals.

研究结果基于2012年至2013年收集的全国性数据。采用二项逻辑回归分析来研究移民身份与行为/精神疾病结果之间的关系。
与在美国出生的人相比，墨西哥移民报告的犯罪和暴力行为、物质使用障碍和精神障碍水平要低得多。
虽然一些来自墨西哥的移民存在严重的行为和精神问题，但总体而言，墨西哥移民出现此类问题的比例远低于在美国出生的人。
