Project Summary 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.

项目概要 这项研究扩展了正在进行的关于移民与健康之间关系的两国调查 研究经济衰退对健康的影响并确定移民采取的应对策略 美国（北卡罗来纳州达勒姆）的接收社区和墨西哥的发送社区。移民可以说是 最容易受到经济衰退影响的群体之一。此外，其后果超越国家范围 边境，因为美国经济状况的下滑也会对派遣人员产生负面影响 社区。通过比较 2006/7 年作为母公司赠款一部分收集的两国经济衰退前数据， 根据2010/11年新收集的数据，我们将评估经济衰退对健康指标的影响，例如 抑郁症、饮酒、家庭暴力、获得医疗保健以及感知 美国和墨西哥都存在歧视和文化冲击。我们还将评估此次事件的影响 墨西哥人在两国的社会和经济地位的衰退，重点是就业模式 （收入、就业不稳定、分包和账外就业）、经济困难、汇款 行为（发送和接收）、生活安排、资源池和社会支持。我们随后将 模拟个人、家庭和社会经济特征对前后健康结果的影响 达勒姆和墨西哥的经济衰退。该分析将确定有助于缓冲负面影响的因素 经济衰退对健康的影响，以及它们因性别、健康结果而变化的程度，以及 按居住国家/地区。它还将确定是否是财务紧张、失业或就业增加。 就业不稳定对健康影响最大。最后，我们将评估 经济收缩对墨西哥和美国之间劳动力移民动态的影响。使用双 我们将评估国家数据，返回移民的普遍程度和时间，报告的可能性的变化 返回以及按性别划分的迁移概率。研究结果将对众多公共卫生领域产生影响 影响，因为它们可以作为旨在减少负面影响的政策的基础 边境两侧移民家庭面临经济危机。此外，该项目还扩展了我们的 与墨西哥同事合作，建设能力并支持两国研究和传播 的调查结果。
