We assess the likelihood of moderate and severe psychological distress among Black immigrants. We test the region of context framework, which states that Black immigrants from majority-Black and racially mixed regions of origin have better health outcomes than Black immigrants from majority-white contexts. We utilize data from IPUMS Health Surveys, 2000-2018. We employed partial proportional odds models to assess the likelihood of moderate and severe psychological distress among Black immigrants and U.S.-born Black Americans. All immigrant groups, except for Black Europeans, are significantly less likely to be in moderate and severe distress vis-à-vis U.S.-born Black Americans (p < 0.01). Black Africans are about 54-58% less likely to be in severe distressed compared to U.S.-born Black Americans. Black immigrants from racially mixed and majority-Black contexts (Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, South America, and Africa) are significantly less likely to be afflicted with moderate and severe distress than U.S.-born Black Americans.
我们评估了黑人移民中出现中度和重度心理困扰的可能性。我们检验了背景区域框架，该框架指出，来自黑人占多数和种族混合地区的黑人移民比来自白人占多数背景的黑人移民有更好的健康结果。我们使用了2000 - 2018年综合公共使用微观数据系列（IPUMS）健康调查的数据。我们采用部分比例优势模型来评估黑人移民和美国出生的非裔美国人出现中度和重度心理困扰的可能性。除了欧洲黑人外，所有移民群体相对于美国出生的非裔美国人，出现中度和重度困扰的可能性显著更低（p < 0.01）。与美国出生的非裔美国人相比，非洲黑人出现严重困扰的可能性大约低54 - 58%。来自种族混合和黑人占多数背景（墨西哥、中美洲、加勒比地区、南美洲和非洲）的黑人移民比美国出生的非裔美国人患中度和重度困扰的可能性显著更低。
