OBJECTIVES The American agricultural industry is heavily reliant on Latina/o workers, yet there is scant understanding regarding the mental health of this population. This gap in the literature is glaring as Latina/o farmworkers are a highly vulnerable group who experience high rates of occupational risks and health hazards. This study is the first, to our knowledge, to examine individual, social and work-related correlates of depression among Latina/o horse workers. METHOD A community survey (N = 225) administered by lay health workers was implemented with Latina/o horse workers who were employed in thoroughbred horse farms in Kentucky. Study participants were on average 35 years old (9.6), largely male (85.8%), married (67.6%), dominant Spanish speakers (95.1%), born in Mexico (84.4%), made a modal average hourly wage of $10.24, and had spent an average of 14.5 years in the United States. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between (a) individual and social factors and (b) work factors with depression. RESULTS Women (β = .13, p < .04), and those who reported higher job insecurity (β = .23, p < .001) and number of days missed due to injury (β = .20, p < .05) were more likely to report higher depressive symptoms. Work discrimination due to race/ethnicity (β = .26, p < .001) was distinctly associated to depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Work-related discrimination was uniquely associated with depressive symptoms independent of the effects of occupational risks and stressors. This may be particularly salient in a rising anti-immigrant national context. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

在社会脆弱性条件下工作：拉美裔o / o移民马工人中的抑郁症。

目标美国农业高度依赖拉丁裔工人，但对该人群的心理健康知之甚少。由于拉丁裔/ o农场工人是一个高度脆弱的群体，他们经历高比例的职业风险和健康危害，因此文献中的这种差距更加明显。据我们所知，这项研究是首次研究拉丁裔/ o马工人中与抑郁症相关的个人，社会和与工作相关的因素。方法对在肯塔基州良种马场工作的拉丁裔/非裔马工人实施了由非专业卫生工作者进行的社区调查（N = 225）。研究参与者的平均年龄为35岁（9.6），主要为男性（85.8％），已婚（67.6％），讲西班牙语的占主导地位（95.1％），在墨西哥（84.4％）出生的人，其平均时薪为$ 10.24，并且在美国平均消费了14.5年。进行了层次回归分析，以检查（a）个人和社会因素与（b）抑郁症的工作因素之间的关系。结果妇女（β= .13，p <.04），以及那些报告较高的工作不安全感（β= .23，p <.001）和因受伤而缺勤天数的妇女（β= .20，p <.05） ）更有可能报告较高的抑郁症状。种族/民族（β= .26，p <.001）导致的工作歧视与抑郁症状明显相关。结论与工作有关的歧视与抑郁症状具有独特的联系，而与职业风险和压力源无关。在不断上升的反移民国家背景下，这一点尤为突出。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
