Female migrant domestic workers (MDW), who often must reside in their place of work, may face additional daily stressors and discrimination compared with other international migrant workers. To address the stresses from discrimination and other challenges faced by MDWs, use of social support networks are often encouraged to improve mental well-being. This study seeks to examine the mediating effect of stress between perceived discrimination and self-reported mental health and the moderating role of perceived social support. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted during August 2020 - August 2021 among female MDWs in Hong Kong, China (n = 1965). In addition to assessing the association between perceived discrimination with anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-9), a moderated mediation analysis examined the mediating role of stress and moderating role of perceived social support. Of respondents, 60.4% experienced at least occasional discrimination. Higher levels of perceived discrimination were significantly directly associated with both increased anxiety and depression (p < 0.05). Stress significantly mediated this association. Perceived social support significantly moderated the mediation pathway but did not moderate the direct effect of perceived discrimination on mental health. Increasing social support channels may alleviate the effects of increased stress from perceived discrimination on MDWs' mental health. Policy-level campaigns to reduce discrimination against migrant workers should be considered.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"677-686"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12420704/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144110919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We surveyed 223 Chinese pregnant or postpartum (within one year post-delivery) immigrant women in New York City. Surveys were conducted in English, Simplified Chinese or Mandarin, March-June 2021. PPD was measured with the Edinburgh PPD scale (EPDS); scores of 13 or higher indicate probable depression. Perceived stress was measured with one question, \"How often did you feel stressed in the past week?\"; responses were collapsed into a binary measure: Never/Rarely and Sometimes/Often/Always. Support was assessed with a general question about perception of receiving needed support and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) V2.0 Short Form Informational, Instrumental, and Emotional Support measures. Bivariate and multivariable general linear regression models assessed the relationship among stress, support, and PPD. The EPDS mean score was 11.9 (95%CI:11.1-12.7) and 50% (95%CI: 42-57%) had EPDS scores ≥ 13, indicative of serious symptoms; 56% felt stressed in the past week and 37% reported getting needed support. Among women without perceived needed support, mean EPDS scores were higher among women who were stressed compared with women who were not (adjusted mean difference (aMD) 5.4; 95%CI:3.3-7.5); the association between stress and EPDS score was attenuated among women with needed support (aMD 1.1; 95%CI:-1.0, 3.1). Similar patterns held for emotional and instrumental support. Perceived and social support attenuated the association between perceived stress and depression symptoms among Chinese immigrant women. Enhancing support may be effective in countering the impact of stressors on PPD.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"706-716"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144248256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) presents a critical opportunity to expand prevention by offering a discreet and convenient alternative to daily oral PrEP. Its successful implementation, however, requires approaches that build on the strengths of African immigrant communities, including their rich traditions of storytelling, collective problem-solving, and digital connectivity. In this commentary, we highlight three culturally responsive strategies - storytelling, crowdsourcing, and digital platforms like WhatsApp - that can enhance awareness and uptake of LAI-PrEP. By leveraging existing community networks and trusted communication channels, these approaches can drive engagement and support sustained use. A strengths-based approach to LAI-PrEP implementation has the potential to not only reduce HIV disparities but also reinforce community-driven solutions that promote long-term health and well-being among African immigrants in the U.S.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"652-657"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144799346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, there are numerous barriers that prevent Latinx youth from seeking mental health services (MHS) when in need. This study examined whether immigration-related problems and worry (IPW) during an era of high visibility immigration enforcement moderated the relationship between mental health (MH) need and help-seeking from different sources of support among 4th-12th grade students who self-identified as Latinx first- or second-generation immigrants (N = 445). We hypothesized that Latinx youth who experienced IPW would report predominantly relying on peer and non-professional adult support, rather than professional support. Results revealed a significant moderation effect, such that the association between internalizing problems (i.e., MH need) and adult help-seeking was attenuated among Latinx youth who endorsed IPW, compared to those who did not endorse these concerns. These findings suggest that experiencing IPW, stemming from anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric, deter Latinx youth from seeking support from trusting adults (e.g., parents, relatives, teachers), preventing them from receiving their support and getting connected to professional MHS.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145131083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building upon these conclusions, we conducted interviews with non-English language preference (NELP) immigrant patients in the Emergency Department setting to glean their perspectives on the use of identifiers for immigrant patients in EHRs. Individuals endorsed language and country of origin as useful identifiers, but also expressed a general lack of understanding regarding what is documented in the EHR and why, along with significant concerns about potential implications related to the documentation of sensitive information.

The findings identified three themes: Limited guidance navigating services leading to diminished trust in early care pathways, the Importance of understanding cultural and linguistic needs in early care pathways and during CSC, and the Restoring trust and building belonging through CSC. Implications for coordinated specialty care include implementing culturally responsive care models that integrate the diverse backgrounds and experiences of individuals affected by psychosis, specifically Hispanic individuals.

Migrant communities, including the Indian-born population, experience high rates of mental illness and delayed help-seeking.

The study aimed to examine the mental health awareness and help-seeking behaviour of Indian adults in Australia and their impact on their children from the perspectives of parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 Indian migrant parents and caregivers, and data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed themes related to dual cultural challenges, limited understanding of mental health, and barriers to seeking help due to cultural stigma and unfamiliarity with the Australian system. Community support and tailored resources were identified as enablers, although access to these resources remained a barrier.

In particular, immigrant women lack access to and quality of care. Community-based health promotion may be one way to reach immigrant women. The aim of this study was to explore the capacity of immigrant settlement agencies for health promotion to immigrant women. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with immigrant women and community agency managers to discuss current and required health promotion capacity based on the New South Wales Framework, and identified themes using content analysis. We interviewed 24 immigrant women and 22 staff from 20 immigrant settlement agencies across Canada. Women and agency staff largely agreed on the need to develop the workforce (staff type and qualifications), acquire resources (human, physical, financial) dedicated to health promotion, establish external partnerships with academic, healthcare and other community organizations, create policies and strategies specific to health promotion, and choose and train leaders with interpersonal and technical skills. In addition, women underscored the need to tailor health promotion programs and services to women, and to enhance access to community-based health promotion by raising awareness via diverse media and government settlement agencies, and supporting participation by paying for transportation to community agencies or providing programs and services virtually or in multiple convenient locations. Action is needed to integrate these findings into policy that supports community-based health promotion, and into community agency policies and strategies. Ongoing research is needed to establish optimal community agency health promotion models and impact. Ultimately, community agency health promotion may reduce healthcare inequities, and lead to improved health and wellness among immigrant women.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145075411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
