Given the stigma of their undocumented status and their high prevalence of workplace injury, understanding the impact of discrimination on Latino day laborers (LDLs) is a critical public health issue.
We surveyed LDLs (N = 149) and assessed their sociodemographics, experiences of and perceived reasons for discrimination, and work-related injury. A logistic regression examined the association between discrimination and injury, adjusting for sociodemographics. Next, Chi-square tests identified perceived reasons for discrimination associated with injury which were then included in a second logistic regression to test their association with injury, adjusting for discrimination and sociodemographics.
Participants reported a work-related injury (42%) and experiences of discrimination (81%). Discrimination was associated with injury in the first model (aOR = 2.25, p = 0.049), and discrimination attributed to immigration status was associated with injury in the second model (aOR = 5.04, p = 0.019).
Injury prevention programs should account for perceived mistreatment to reduce LDL risk for injury at work.
鉴于他们无证身份的耻辱和他们在工作场所受伤的高发率,了解歧视对拉丁裔日工(LDLs)的影响是一个关键的公共卫生问题。
我们调查了 LDLs(N=149),评估了他们的社会人口统计学特征、歧视经历和感知原因,以及与工作相关的伤害。逻辑回归检验了歧视与伤害之间的关联,调整了社会人口统计学因素。接下来,卡方检验确定了与伤害相关的歧视感知原因,然后将其纳入第二个逻辑回归模型,以检验它们与伤害的关联,同时调整了歧视和社会人口统计学因素。
参与者报告了与工作相关的伤害(42%)和歧视经历(81%)。在第一个模型中,歧视与伤害相关(aOR=2.25,p=0.049),而归因于移民身份的歧视与伤害相关(aOR=5.04,p=0.019)。
预防伤害的计划应该考虑到感知到的虐待,以降低 LDL 在工作中受伤的风险。
