Familias Divididas [divided families]: Transnational family separation and undocumented Latinx immigrant health.

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: < .0001). Distress from transnational family separation was also more strongly related to physical and depressive symptoms than to anxiety symptoms. Considering these results, important systemic changes to our approach to healthcare delivery and access among ULIs communities are needed to promote the well-being of this at-risk population. Recommendations for doing so are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
