Examining Financial Strain and Subjective Social Status in Terms of Behavioral Health Among Latinx Adults in a Federally Qualified Health Center
There is a growing recognition that Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) can inform some sources of physical and mental health disparities among the Latinx population. The current study sought to expand previous research by exploring the singular and interactive influence of financial strain and subjective social status—two common and clinically important SDoH factors—on pain intensity, pain disability, general depression, social anxiety, and anxious arousal. The current sample consisted of 155 Latinx adults (81.3% female; Mage = 40.02 years, SD = 10.61) presenting for care at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Multivariate results demonstrated that financial strain was statistically significantly associated with greater pain intensity, pain disability, general depression, and anxious arousal, but not social anxiety. Further, lower subjective social status was related to greater general depression, social anxiety, and anxious arousal but not with higher levels of pain indices. An interactive effect was found wherein the combination of higher levels of financial strain and low levels of subjective social status was related to general depression and anxious arousal. This is the first study to empirically evaluate the main and interactive effects of financial strain and subjective social status regarding numerous physical and mental health symptoms. These findings clarify how two prevalent SDoH factors influence health outcomes. Specifically, the results suggest that a multi-risk conceptualization can advance a fine-grained understanding of Latinx health disparities by showing differential associations between SDoH factors and clinical outcomes that are frequently the source of health inequities in the Latinx population.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
