“…In Latinx youth, high levels of Respeto , or youth's perception of being deferential to parents and elders, was protective against externalizing behaviors (Calzada et al., 2020). Similarly, perceptions of being supported by peers was negatively associated with internalizing symptoms in Latinx girls (West et al., 2021). From this literature, both youth and adults displayed individual characteristics that buffered against adversity and fit within a social ecological model of resilience.…”

“…Of the three quantitative articles reporting anxiety levels, populations included Latinx adults in deportation proceedings (Bailey et al., 2021), male Latinx day laborers with higher levels of legal vulnerability (Haro‐Ramos & Rodriguez, 2021), and Latinx adults with a close social tie who had been deported (Pinedo & Valdez., 2020). Of the 21 included articles, only two articles discussed somatic symptoms and internalizing symptoms broadly and their associations with a generalized stress response to immigration actions/news (Bailey et al., 2021; West et al., 2021). As a response to immigration policies during the Trump administration, anxiety and related symptoms (like depressive symptoms) were prevalent among Latinx individuals.…”

“…For Latinx day laborers, the confluence of discrimination with social exclusion and threat of deportation (also called legal vulnerability) increased their risk by four times for developing clinically significant levels of anxiety (Haro‐Ramos & Rodriguez, 2021). Similarly for youth, peer victimization (including both overt bullying and relational exclusion) was an independent risk factor for increased internalizing symptoms in Latinx boys and girls (even when accounting for other predictors) (West et al., 2021). Exclusionary social experiences, which were likely influenced by the increasingly hostile political environment, increased vulnerability for Latinx adolescent and adult poor mental health outcomes.…”

Poor mental health outcomes are a growing concern among Latinx children and adults in the U.S. While existing research has documented risk factors to these mental health disparities, such as barriers to healthcare access and fear of deportation, less is known about the impacts of Former President Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and federal efforts to curb migration on Latinx mental health.Thus, the purpose of this review was two-fold: (1) to review the empirical literature for any quantitative or qualitative findings discussing the relationship between federal immigration policies passed under the Trump administration and mental health outcomes of the Latinx community and(2) to understand the range of resilience factors that may have facilitated Latinx youth and adults to overcome these sociopolitical changes. Utilizing a modified version of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted a narrative review of 21 empirical articles.

“…Longitudinal studies have used growth mixture and other latent class growth models to identify internalizing symptom development patterns, risks, and vulnerability factors across youth development ( 16 , 17 ). Extant research has identified a diversity of growth patterns, including increasing, decreasing, early elevation, late onset, and low-stable growth patterns ( 17 – 21 ). Growth trajectories also vary according to their temporal windows.…”

“…Growth trajectories also vary according to their temporal windows. Studies that focus on internalizing symptom trajectories from early to late childhood ( 18 , 20 ), and early adolescence to mid-adolescence ( 17 , 22 ), and on anxiety and depressive symptom growth during these developmental periods ( 23 , 24 ), have identified diverse factors impacting symptom development, including maternal psychopathology ( 18 ); parenting ( 20 , 23 , 25 – 28 ); child sex-assignment; and peer relations ( 17 , 22 ).…”

IntroductionChildren and adolescents with elevated internalizing symptoms are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, and other psychopathology later in life. The present study examined the predictive links between two bioecological factors in early childhood—parental hostility and socioeconomic stress—and children’s internalizing symptom class outcomes, while considering the effects of child sex assigned at birth on internalizing symptom development from childhood to adolescence.Materials and MethodsThe study used a sample of 1,534 children to test the predictive effects of socioeconomic stress at ages 18 and 27 months; hostile parenting measured at child ages 4–5; and sex assigned at birth on children’s internalizing symptom latent class outcomes at child ages 7–9, 10–12, 13–15, and 16–19. Analyses also tested the mediating effect of parenting on the relationship between socioeconomic stress and children’s symptom classes. Other covariates included parent depressive symptoms at child ages 4–5 and child race and ethnicity.ResultsAnalyses identified three distinct heterogenous internalizing symptom classes characterized by relative symptom levels and progression: low (35%); moderate and increasing (41%); and higher and increasing (24%). As anticipated, higher levels of parental hostility in early childhood predicted membership in the higher and increasing symptom class, compared with the low symptom class (odds ratio (OR) = .61, 95% confidence interval (CI) [.48,.77]). Higher levels of early childhood socioeconomic stress were also associated with the likelihood of belonging to the higher-increasing symptom class compared to the low and moderate-increasing classes (OR = .46, 95% CI [.35,.60] and OR = .56, 95% CI [.44,.72], respectively). The total (c = .61) and direct (c’ = .57) effects of socioeconomic stress on children’s symptom class membership in the mediation analysis were significant (p <.001).DiscussionStudy findings suggest that intervening on modifiable bioecological stressors—including parenting behaviors and socioeconomic stressors—may provide important protective influences on children’s internalizing symptom trajectories.
