“…Cayuela and colleagues found that settled immigrant women have a higher prevalence of poor self-perceived health (34.6%) and poor mental health (30.1%) than native women (17.7%). The most influential factor in the relationship between health and migrant status for women workers was occupational social class (25% for poor self-perceived health and 17.6% for mental health) and job satisfaction accounted for 15.8% of the difference in self-perceived health [117].…”

Migrant workers show an increase in the incidence of serious, psychotic, anxiety, and post-traumatic disorders due to a series of socio-environmental variables, such as loss of social status, discrimination, and separations from the family. The purpose is to elaborate a systematic review and highlight the prevailing psychological pathologies of these workers and categories most at risk. Our research included articles published from 2009 to 2019 on the major databases (Pub Med, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) using a combination of some keywords. The online search indicated 1.228 references. Using inclusion and exclusion criteria, we analyzed 127 articles, in particular 12 reviews and 115 original articles. Principal emerging disorders from the research are depressive syndrome (poor concentration at work, feeling down, or anger and somatization), anxiety, alcohol or substance abuse, and poor sleep quality. This causes low life conditions, which is also due to marginalization from the social context and strenuous work; in fact, migrant workers may suffer verbal or physical abuse, and they are often employed in dangerous, unhealthy jobs. It is therefore essential to increase the role of occupational medicine and promote wellbeing for this vulnerable job category.

ImportanceCommunity-level social vulnerability (SV) is associated with physical illness and premature mortality. Its association with mental health (MH) and substance use disorders (SUDs) needs further study.ObjectiveTo study associations of SV with clinical diagnoses of MH disorders, SUDs, and related treatments in the US noninstitutionalized population of adults aged 18 years and older.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA survey of adults in a national sample of US households between October 2020 and October 2022. Participants drawn from a multistage, clustered, and stratified area probability sample of US households were included, excluding adults older than 65 years because of the difficulty of differentiating mental disorders from symptoms of dementia. The sample also included adults living in prisons, state psychiatric hospitals, and homeless shelters who were excluded from the sample of US households used in these analyses. Each sample household was sent a letter explaining the study and offering the option to complete the household roster online, by phone, or by email. Of the 12 906 adults selected for clinical interviewing in the household sample, 4674 completed clinical interviews.Main Outcomes and MeasuresMain outcomes were Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 past-year diagnoses of MH disorders and SUDs and responses to survey questions regarding treatment received. The Social Vulnerability Metric (SVM) and the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) were used to determine SV at the residential zip code level.ResultsThe analysis involved 4674 participants (2904 [62.13%] female and 1770 [37.87%] male; mean [SD] age, 41.51 [13.41] years). Controlling for measured confounders, the SVM was significantly associated with diagnoses of schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 17.22; 95% CI, 3.05-97.29), opioid use disorder (OUD; aOR, 9.47; 95% CI, 2.30-39.02), stimulant use disorder (aOR, 6.60; 95% CI, 2.01-21.67), bipolar I disorder (aOR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.19-4.80), posttraumatic stress disorder (aOR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.06-2.50), and any MH disorder (aOR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.14-1.83), but not major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), or any SUD. Results were similar for the ADI but generally of lower magnitude (SSD aOR, 11.38; 95% CI, 1.61-80.58; OUD aOR, 2.05; 95% CI, 0.30-14.10; stimulant use disorder aOR, 2.18; 95% CI, 0.52-9.18). Among participants with SSDs, SV was associated with reduced MH treatment (aOR, 0.001; 95% CI, 0.00-0.18) and reduced SUD treatment in participants with OUD or stimulant use disorder (aOR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.02-2.80).Conclusions and RelevanceIn contrast to previous studies using nonclinical symptom-based survey data, we found no association between SV and GAD or MDD. By contrast, there were associations of SV with prevalence of SSD, stimulant use disorder, and OUD with corresponding decreases in treatment. These results suggest that the SVM might assist in developing more comprehensive care models that integrate medical and social care for MH disorders and SUDs.
