Undocumented Latino immigrants in the United States face pervasive discrimination that increases their risk for experiencing depressive symptomatology. Although research has linked discrimination to depressive symptoms more broadly, we do not know whether everyday forms of discrimination are associated with elevated risk for clinical depression among this population. Using data collected from a community sample of undocumented Latino immigrants during the 2015 Trump campaign, we found that everyday discrimination was associated with significantly higher odds of being classified as higher risk for clinical depression. Findings indicate everyday discrimination as a risk factor for clinical depression among undocumented Latino immigrants.
在美国，无证拉丁裔移民面临普遍的歧视，这增加了他们出现抑郁症状的风险。尽管研究已经将歧视与更广泛的抑郁症状联系起来，但我们不知道在这一人群中，日常形式的歧视是否与临床抑郁症的风险增加有关。本研究使用了在 2015 年特朗普竞选期间从一个无证拉丁裔移民社区样本中收集的数据，发现日常歧视与被归类为临床抑郁症高风险的几率显著增加有关。研究结果表明，日常歧视是无证拉丁裔移民患临床抑郁症的一个风险因素。
