“…Studies examining the relationships between acculturation stress and physical health at the individual level examined associations across the lifespan including: 1) birth outcomes among pregnant women (Balcazar et al, 1997), 2) asthma and blood pressure among children (Koinis-Mitchell et al, 2011; Marchante-Hoffman, 2018), 3) BMI in children and adults (Ai & Lee, 2021; Merchante-Hoffman, 2018; Potochnick et al, 2019; Ro & Bostean, 2015; Rodriguez Diaz, 2017; Simmons & Limbers, 2019), 4) sleep (Alcantara et al, 2017, 2019; Ehlers et al, 2010; Marchante-Hoffman, 2018), 5) self-reported physical health (Cariello et al, 2019; Finch et al, 2001; Finch & Vega, 2003; Merchante-Hoffman, 2018; Rodriguez Diaz, 2017), and 6) disability among adults (Waldman et al, 2019).…”

The health of Latinx immigrants decays over time and across generations. Acculturation stress influences decays in behavioral and mental health in this population, but the effect on physical health outcomes is less understood. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 22 studies that examined the influence of acculturation stress on physical health outcomes among Latinx populations in the United States. The Society-to-Cell Resilience Framework was used to synthesize findings according to individual, physiological, and cellular levels. There is mounting evidence identifying acculturation stress as an important social contributor to negative physical health outcomes, especially at the individual level. More research is needed to identify the physiological and cellular mechanisms involved. Interventions are also needed to address the damaging effects of acculturation stress on a variety of physical health conditions in this population.

“…69 While there is a dearth of literature describing relationships between child maltreatment and unhealthy dietary and screen time behaviors in racial/ethnic minorities specifically, studies considering a broader range of stressors support associations between stress and unhealthy eating behaviors within exclusively Black and Hispanic populations. [70][71][72] As previously noted, it is plausible that additional stressors specific to minorities (e.g., acculturation stress and racism) may uniquely impair their ability to cope with the stressful impact of child maltreatment. Structural racism may also encourage unhealthy coping behaviors in Black and Hispanic survivors of child maltreatment.…”

Child maltreatment is common and has been associated with substance use addictions, yet few studies have examined associations with potentially addictive dietary and screen time behaviors. The goal of this study was to assess associations between retrospectively self-reported child maltreatment (sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect) and excessive selfreported dietary (sugar sweetened beverage and fast food consumption) and screen time behaviors (television/video watching and leisure time computer use) in early adulthood, overall and by sex and race/ethnicity. Associations were examined using data from 10,813 participants 24-32 years old from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. We used predicted marginal proportions accounting for the complex sample design to obtain prevalence ratios (PRs) and adjusted for demographic characteristics and physical activity. In females, exposure to polymaltreatment (2+ types of child maltreatment) was associated with excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption, television/video watching, and leisure time computer use; in males, exposure to poly-maltreatment was associated with excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption, television/video watching, and fast food consumption. Some associations were particularly strong in racial/ethnic minorities, especially Latina females (poly-maltreatment-sugar sweetened beverage association: aPR=6.14, 95% CI:2.12, 17.75; polymaltreatment-computer use association: aPR=3.08, 95% CI:1.44, 6.58). These findings show that child maltreatment is associated with excessive dietary and screen time behaviors into adulthood, and these associations are present in racial/ethnic groups at high risk of cardiometabolic disease. Extension of an addiction paradigm to include dietary and screen time behaviors may inform health risks and disease prevention efforts in child maltreatment survivors.

“…The migration process entails an adaption effort whose intensity can be an additional risk factor for developing mental, social or behavioural health problems. The acculturative stress related to cultural differences and perceived racial discrimination in the new country increases the probabilities of young immigrants suffering from anxiety, depression and other mental conditions [19,20], such as eating disorders [21] and alcohol consumption [22]. Refugees, in particular, run a greater risk of suffering symptoms of posttraumatic stress due to exposure to war, long-term persecution or the loss of relatives both in their country of origin and during displacement [23].…”

Results of Mentoring in the Psychosocial Well-Being of Young Immigrants and Refugees in Spain

This study examined the change processes associated with the Nightingale project, a community-based mentoring programme whose aim is to promote the social inclusion of minors of immigrant origin. A pre-test–post-test study was conducted on a group of 158 young immigrants between the ages of 8 and 15, in which the influence of the mentoring programme on the youths’ psychosocial well-being was measured. Non-parametric tests were used to calculate the results before and after mentoring, comparing the results over a six-month period and controlling for sex and age. The analyses reflected associations between mentoring and improvements in specific aspects of the emotional well-being of young immigrants and highlighted the potential of mentorships to cushion the stressful events they are subjected to in the process of adapting to a new social reality.
