Eskenazi B, et al. - Via a cohort study of 397 US-born adolescents in California, experts assessed if concerns about immigration policy were related to worse mental and physical health among US citizen children of Latino immigrants. Personal outcomes of the US immigration policy, family separation because of deportation, and being reported to the immigration office were fears among nearly half of the youth participants at least some of the time. In comparison to low or moderate Perceived Immigration Policy Effects Scale (PIPES) scores, greater self-assessed mean anxiety T scores, higher maternally reported anxiety T scores, and worse Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were noticed in those with high PIPES scores. Over the two visits, young individuals with high PIPES scores had statistically significantly elevated levels of anxiety but not of depression. Among US-born Latino adolescents, fear and worry about the personal consequences of prevailing US immigration policy and rhetoric seemed to be correlated with higher anxiety levels, sleep problems, and blood pressure changes, with a significant increase in anxiety after the 2016 presidential election.
