The purpose of this study was to examine the relations among discrimination, depression, and health among a sample of diverse Latinx immigrants. A secondary aim was to examine whether direct and indirect effects among these variables were moderated by social support. A sample of 204 Latinx immigrants completed questionnaires in community centers, health clinics, and retail establishments. Depression was found to mediate the effect of discrimination on physical health. Social support was found to moderate this indirect effect, wherein higher levels of social support weakened the effect. Results from this study indicate that through depression, health can be impacted by minority stressors, and these relationships can be buffered by links to cultural strengths including social support.
El propósito de este estudio fue examinar las relaciones entre la discriminación, la depresión y la salud entre una muestra de diversos inmigrantes Latinxs. Un segundo objetivo fue examinar si los efectos directos e indirectos entre estas variables fueron moderados por el apoyo social. Una muestra de 204 inmigrantes Latinxs completaron cuestionarios en centros comunitarios, clínicas de salud y establecimientos minoristas. Se descubrió que la depresión media la relación entre la discriminación y la salud física. Se encontró que el apoyo social moderó esta relación indirecta y que los niveles más altos de apoyo social la debilitaron. Los resultados de este estudio indican que, a través de la depresión, la salud puede verse afectada por factores estresantes de las minorías, y estas relaciones se pueden amortiguar a través de fortalezas culturales, incluyendo el apoyo social.
