There is not much evidence on the effects of south-south migration and its consequences on physical and mental health. Our objective was to examine the mediating role of Acculturative Stress in the association between ethnic discrimination and racial discrimination with physical and mental health. This research is a non-experimental, analytical, cross-sectional study. A total of 976 adult Colombian migrants living in Chile were interviewed. We used the Everyday Discrimination Scale, the acculturative stress scale, and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-12) for health status; we found that racial and ethnic discrimination had a negative effect on physical and mental health. In the simultaneous presence of both types of discrimination, racial discrimination was completely absorbed by ethnic discrimination, the latter becoming a total mediator of the effect of racial discrimination on mental and physical health. Our findings are consistent with the literature, which suggests that there are various types of discrimination which, individually or in their intersectionality, can have negative effects on health.
关于南南移民的影响及其对身心健康的后果，证据并不多。我们的目标是检验文化适应压力在种族歧视和民族歧视与身心健康之间的关联中所起的中介作用。本研究是一项非实验性、分析性横断面研究。共对976名居住在智利的成年哥伦比亚移民进行了访谈。我们使用日常歧视量表、文化适应压力量表和健康状况的医学结局研究简表（SF - 12）；我们发现种族和民族歧视对身心健康有负面影响。在两种歧视同时存在的情况下，种族歧视完全被民族歧视所吸收，后者成为种族歧视对身心健康影响的完全中介。我们的研究结果与文献一致，文献表明存在各种类型的歧视，这些歧视单独或相互交织都可能对健康产生负面影响。
