Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Social support is associated with improved clinical outcomes but is understudied among US immigrants. We examined two types of social support, perceived health provider support and community support, and characterized perceptions of social support among US immigrants compared with nonimmigrants.
UNASSIGNED: We conducted cross-sectional data analysis on self-reported data from Health Information National Trends Survey 5, Cycle 2. Population-level estimates were obtained using jack-knife replicate weights.
UNASSIGNED: Immigrant status was not associated with perceived health care provider support or community support. However, compared with nonimmigrants, US immigrants were more likely to report rarely (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=3.07) or never (aOR=3.18) having access to emotional support.
UNASSIGNED: Further research that incorporates nuanced factors (eg, time since arrival) that may influence social support in diverse US immigrant groups is needed to determine the impact of social support on health outcomes in an underserved and often overlooked population.

摘要：
■社会支持与改善临床结果相关，但在美国移民中研究不足。我们研究了两种类型的社会支持，感知到的健康提供者支持和社区支持，以及与非移民相比，美国移民对社会支持的看法。
■我们对来自健康信息国家趋势调查5，第2周期的自我报告数据进行了横截面数据分析。人口水平的估计是使用千斤顶刀重复重量获得的。
■移民身份与感知的医疗保健提供者支持或社区支持无关。然而,与非移民相比，美国移民更有可能报告很少（调整后的优势比[aOR]=3.07）或从未（aOR=3.18）获得情感支持。
■结合细微因素的进一步研究(例如，到达后的时间）可能会影响不同美国移民群体的社会支持，以确定社会支持对服务不足且经常被忽视的人群的健康结果的影响。
