“…The limited number of studies that found an association between migration and common mental disorders was based on international migration and settings different from Peru [12, 26–28], including a recent study of Ecuadorian migrants living in Spain [29]. This discordance may be due to the heterogeneity of the definition of “migrant”, including labor migrants and/or refugees, and the use of different tools to measure common mental disorders.…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate whether there are differences in the prevalence of common mental disorders and social capital between migrant and non-migrant groups in Peru.MethodologyThe PERU MIGRANT study is a cross-sectional study comprising three groups: an urban group from a shanty town in Lima; a rural group from a community in Ayacucho-Peru; and a migrant group originally from Ayacucho currently living in the same urban shanty town. Common mental disorders were assessed using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and social capital was assessed using the Short Social Capital Assessment Tool (SASCAT). Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to estimate prevalence ratios.ResultsThe overall prevalence of common mental disorders was 39.4%; the highest prevalence was observed in the rural group. Similar patterns were observed for cognitive social capital and structural social capital. However after adjustment for sex, age, family income and education, all but one of the significant relationships was attenuated, suggesting that in this population migration per se does not impact on common mental health disorders or social capital.ConclusionsIn the PERU MIGRANT study, we did not observe a difference in the prevalence of common mental disorders, cognitive and structural social capital between migrant and urban groups. This pattern of associations was also similar in rural and urban groups, except that a higher prevalence ratio of structural social capital was observed in the rural group.

“…Fire undersøkelser av den generelle yrkesbefolkningen i Spania rapporterte høyere forekomst av psykiske plager blant kvinnelige innvandrerer (Cayuela et al, 2015;Del Amo et al, 2011;Vives et al, 2013), og blant mannlige og kvinnelige innvandrere , sammenliknet med øvrige sysselsatte.

“…However, evidence on the actual prevalence of psychological disorders in this population is inconclusive with studies reporting higher [ 129 , 132 , 133 ], similar [ 134 ], and lower rates [ 135 ] vs local populations. Differing patterns have also been found when disaggregating the analysis by sex [ 136 ] and country of birth [ 137 ], including reports of wide disparities in antidepressant consumption [ 138 ].…”

Hispano-Americans in Europe: what do we know about their health status and determinants? A scoping review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundPolicy makers and health practitioners are in need of guidance to respond to the growing geographic mobility of Hispano-American migrants in Europe. Drawing from contributions from epidemiology, social sciences, demography, psychology, psychiatry and economy, this scoping review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of studies addressing the health status and determinants of this population. We describe major research gaps and suggest specific avenues of further inquiry.MethodsWe identified systematically papers that addressed the concepts “health” and “Hispano Americans” indexed in five data bases from Jan 1990 to May 2014 with no language restrictions. We screened the 4,464 citations retrieved against exclusion criteria and classified 193 selected references in 12 thematic folders with the aid of the reference management software ENDNOTE X6. After reviewing the full text of all papers we extracted relevant data systematically into a table template to facilitate the synthesising process.ResultsMost studies focused on a particular disease, leaving unexplored the interlinkages between different health conditions and how these relate to legislative, health services, environmental, occupational, and other health determinants. We elucidated some consistent results but there were many heterogeneous findings and several popular beliefs were not fully supported by empirical evidence. Few studies adopted a trans-national perspective and many consisted of cross-sectional descriptions that considered “Hispano-Americans” as a homogeneous category, limiting our analysis. Our results are also constrained by the availability and varying quality of studies reviewed.ConclusionsBurgeoning research has produced some consistent findings but there are huge gaps in knowledge. To prevent unhelpful generalisations we need a more holistic and nuanced understanding of how mobility, ethnicity, income, gender, legislative status, employment status, working conditions, neighbourhood characteristics and social status intersect with demographic variables and policy contexts to influence the health of the diverse Hispano-American populations present in Europe.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1799-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
