DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research expands on an on-going bi-national investigation of the connection between migration and health to examine the health consequences of the recession and identify the coping strategies employed in a migrant receiving community in the U.S. (Durham, NC) and sending communities in Mexico. Immigrants are arguably one of the groups most vulnerable to economic downturns. Moreover, the consequences transcend national borders, as declining economic conditions in the U.S. can also have negative implications for sending communities. By comparing bi-national pre-recession data collected in 2006/7 as part of the parent grant with newly collected data in 2010/11, we will assess the impact of the recession on health indicators such as depression, alcohol consumption, domestic violence, and access to health care, as well as perceived discrimination and acculturative shock, in both the U.S. and Mexico. We will also evaluate the impact of the recession on the social and economic position of Mexicans in both countries, focusing on employment patterns (income, employment instability, subcontracting, and off-the-books employment), financial hardship, remittance behavior (both sending and receiving), living arrangements, resource pooling, and social support. We will then model the effect of personal, family, and socioeconomic characteristics on health outcomes before and after the recession in Durham and Mexico. The analysis will identify factors that help buffer against the negative health consequences of recessions, and the extent to which they vary by gender, across health outcomes, and by country of residence. It will also identify whether it is financial strain, loss of employment, or increase in employment instability that most adversely impacts health. And finally, we will assess the impact of the economic contraction on the dynamics of labor migration between Mexico and the United States. Using bi- national data we will assess the prevalence and timing of return migration, changes in the reported likelihood of return, and probability of migrating by gender. Findings from the study will have numerous public health implications since they can serve as the basis for policies oriented towards reducing the negative impact of financial crises on migrant families on both sides of the border. In addition, the project expands our collaboration with Mexican colleagues, building capacity and supporting bi-national research and dissemination of findings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This research expands on an on-going bi-national investigation of the connection between migration and health to examine the health consequences of the current recession and identify the coping strategies employed in a migrant receiving community in the U.S. (Durham, NC) and sending communities in Mexico. Findings from the study will have numerous public health implications since they can serve as the basis for policies oriented towards reducing the negative impact of financial crises on migrant families on both sides of the border.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究扩展了对移民与健康之间的持续研究，以检查经济衰退的健康后果，并确定美国（北卡罗来纳州达勒姆）接收社区的应对策略（北卡罗来纳州达勒姆）和派往墨西哥的社区。移民可以说是最容易受到经济低迷的群体之一。此外，由于美国经济状况的下降也可能对派遣社区产生负面影响，因此后果超越了国家边界。通过比较2006/7年收集的作为父母赠款一部分的双国衰退前数据与2010/11年新收集的数据进行比较，我们将评估衰退对抑郁症，酒精消费，家庭暴力以及获得卫生保健以及可感知的歧视和歧视性歧视和诊断性冲击等健康指标的影响。我们还将评估经济衰退对墨西哥人在两国的社会和经济地位的影响，重点介绍就业方式（收入，就业不稳定，分包和账单就业），财务困难，汇款行为（汇款和接收），生活安排，资源筹集资源，资源池和社会支持。然后，我们将建模个人，家庭和社会经济特征对达勒姆和墨西哥经济衰退之前和之后的健康结果的影响。该分析将确定有助于缓冲衰退的负面健康后果的因素，以及它们因性别，健康成果和居住国而变化的程度。它还将确定这是财务压力，就业损失还是就业不稳定会对健康产生不利影响。最后，我们将评估经济收缩对墨西哥与美国之间劳动迁移动态的影响。使用双国数据，我们将评估返回迁移的流行和时机，报告的回报可能性的变化以及通过性别迁移的概率。该研究的发现将具有许多公共卫生的影响，因为它们可以作为降低边境双方移民家庭的负面影响的政策的基础。此外，该项目扩大了我们与墨西哥同事的合作，建立能力并支持双国研究和调查结果的传播。 公共卫生相关性：这项研究扩展了对移民与健康之间的联系的持续调查，以检查当前衰退的健康后果，并确定美国（北卡罗来纳州达勒姆）的移民接收社区中采用的应对策略，并派遣了墨西哥的社区。该研究的发现将具有许多公共卫生的影响，因为它们可以作为降低边境双方移民家庭的负面影响的政策的基础。
