■移民执法系统对移民的健康有重大影响,他们的家人,和社会。暴露于移民执法系统与不良的心理健康结果有关,在COVID-19大流行期间,持续的移民执法活动可能加剧了这种情况。
这项研究旨在调查在COVID-19大流行期间,加利福尼亚州无证年轻人的移民执法暴露与心理健康之间的关系。
■数据来自COVID-19勇敢(建立社区,为健康公平提高所有移民声音)研究,一项社区参与的关于COVID-19大流行对加利福尼亚州非法移民影响的横断面调查。共有366名年龄在18至39岁之间的无证移民完成了在线调查,该项目于2020年9月至2021年2月期间进行。多变量逻辑回归模型适用于检查移民执法暴露与抑郁之间的关联。
■几乎所有参与者(91.4%)都公开了对移民执法系统的接触,大多数报告的平均经验为3.52(SD=2.06)。多变量分析显示,移民执法暴露得分的增加与更高的抑郁几率显着相关(调整后的优势比[aOR]=1.24;95%置信区间[CI]:1.10,1.40),女性报告抑郁症的可能性比男性高92%(aOR=1.92;95%CI:1.12,3.31).那些报告驱逐恐惧的人更有可能抑郁(aOR=1.24;95%CI:1.10,1.40)。
■研究人员应该考虑惩罚性移民执法制度对心理健康的影响,政策制定者应该研究移民政策对当地社区的影响。
UNASSIGNED: The immigration enforcement system has significant effects on the health of immigrants, their families, and society. Exposure to the immigration enforcement system is linked to adverse mental health outcomes, which may have been exacerbated by sustained immigration enforcement activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: This study was conducted to investigate the association between exposure to immigration enforcement and the mental health of undocumented young adults in California during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: Data are from the COVID-19 BRAVE (Building Community Raising All Immigrant Voices for Health Equity) Study, a community-engaged cross-sectional survey of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on undocumented immigrants in California. A total of 366 undocumented immigrants between 18 and 39 years of age completed the online survey, which was conducted between September 2020 and February 2021. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to examine the association between immigration enforcement exposure and depression.
UNASSIGNED: Almost all participants (91.4%) disclosed exposure to the immigration enforcement system, with most reporting an average of 3.52 (SD=2.06) experiences. Multivariate analyses revealed that an increase in the immigration enforcement exposure score was significantly associated with higher odds of depression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10, 1.40), and women were 92% more likely to report depression than were men (aOR=1.92; 95% CI: 1.12, 3.31). Those who reported deportation fears were significantly more likely to be depressed (aOR=1.24; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.40).
UNASSIGNED: Researchers should consider the mental health implications of a punitive immigration enforcement system, and policymakers should examine the impacts of immigration policies on local communities.
