Abstract

Objective: Although other studies have linked trauma to the risk of developmental delay, few have focused on primarily Latino immigrant children. A cross-sectional survey was completed by caregivers of immigrant children (2-5 years of age) who visited the clinic during January to March 2023.

Method: In addition to capturing demographic characteristics, the survey included assessments of trauma symptomatology, lifetime traumatic events, and child development and behavior using validated screening tools. Eighty-two children were eligible and included in the study.

Results: Logistic regression analyses revealed associations between both lifetime traumatic events (OR = 3.26, 95% CI [1.33, 9.38], p = .029) and presence of trauma response symptoms (OR = 6.10, 95% CI [1.42, 26.2], p = .015) with a risk for developmental delay, controlling for covariates. Trauma response symptoms also were associated with behavioral/emotional problems (OR = 15.1, 95% CI [2.78, 82.3], p = .002).

Conclusions: This study demonstrates an association between trauma and development among primarily Latino immigrant children and emphasizes the importance of screening for trauma, monitoring developmental milestones, and developing interventions to mitigate negative effects of trauma on young immigrants.

在儿科流动诊所评估主要拉丁裔移民儿童的创伤和发展：一项横断面研究。

目的：虽然其他研究将创伤与发育迟缓的风险联系起来，但很少有研究主要关注拉丁裔移民儿童。对2023年1月至3月期间到访该诊所的移民儿童（2-5岁）的护理人员进行横断面调查。方法：除了捕获人口统计学特征外，调查还包括使用经过验证的筛查工具评估创伤症状、终生创伤事件和儿童发育和行为。有82名儿童符合条件并被纳入研究。结果：Logistic回归分析显示，在控制协变量的情况下，终生创伤事件（OR = 3.26, 95% CI [1.33, 9.38], p = 0.029）和创伤反应症状（OR = 6.10, 95% CI [1.42, 26.2], p = 0.015）与发育迟缓风险之间存在关联。创伤反应症状还与行为/情绪问题相关（OR = 15.1, 95% CI [2.78, 82.3], p = 0.002）。结论：本研究证明了创伤与拉美裔移民儿童的发展之间的联系，并强调了创伤筛查、监测发展里程碑以及制定干预措施以减轻创伤对年轻移民的负面影响的重要性。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
