The influence of racial differences on perceived psychological distress and impairment was examined with a nationally representative sample of Black and White Latinxs. The study sample was selected from multiple years of the National Health Interview Survey and included 30,519 self-identified Black and White Latinxs between the ages of 26 and 64 years. Results indicated that Black Latinxs reported higher levels of psychological distress—a statistically significant difference—compared to White Latinxs after accounting for demographic (age, gender, marital status, and nativity) and socioeconomic status (level of education and health insurance) indicators. Results also indicated that Black and White Latinxs did not differ on impairment associated with perceived psychological distress. The practice of aggregating Black and White Latinxs obscures the racialized experiences reported by Black Latinxs and associated higher levels of psychological distress. Implications and future directions are discussed.

黑人和白人自我识别的拉丁人受访者以及感知的心理困扰和障碍

种族差异对感知到的心理困扰和损害的影响已通过全国代表性的黑白拉丁裔样本进行了检验。该研究样本选自《国家健康访问调查》的多年样本，其中包括30,519名年龄在26至64岁之间的黑人和白人拉丁裔。结果表明，在考虑了人口统计指标（年龄，性别，婚姻状况和出生日期）和社会经济状况（教育水平和健康保险水平）指标之后，黑人拉丁裔报告的心理困扰水平高于白人，具有统计学上的显着差异。结果还表明，黑人和白人拉丁人在与感觉到的心理困扰相关的损伤方面没有差异。汇总黑人和白人拉丁人的做法掩盖了黑人拉丁人所报告的种族化经历以及相关的更高水平的心理困扰。讨论了含义和未来方向。
