Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: International migration, which often involves a disruption of social ties and could involve a change in social status, is a stressful life event that has gained increasing attention in mental health research. While research on physical health has shown unexpected better outcomes for immigrants than for native-born individuals in the United States – an “epidemiologic paradox” – the findings on the mental health of immigrants have been more mixed. In this analysis we use the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS), a large and diverse sample of Latino and Asian Americans, to examine within-group variation in migration experiences. We analyze the association between downward social mobility that arises as a function of migration to the United States and the risk for major depressive episodes. Results suggest a strong relationship between downward mobility and depressive episodes, particularly among individuals who had relatively low social standing in their countries of origin, and results are robust to controls for a variety of sociodemographic controls, years in the US, and citizenship status. Public health implications and future data collection needs are discussed.
