Tóm tắt

Nam giới gay và bisexual người nhập cư từ châu Phi (GBM) có nguy cơ cao về việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện và gặp phải các vấn đề sức khỏe tâm thần tiêu cực do những trải nghiệm không thuận lợi ở quê hương cũng như ở quốc gia tiếp nhận. Hiện tại, có rất ít thông tin về các yếu tố liên quan đến việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện và các kết quả sức khỏe tâm thần trong nhóm population này. Chúng tôi đã khám phá các yếu tố trước và sau khi di cư liên quan đến việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện và trầm cảm ở những người GBM châu Phi vừa mới di cư. Đối tượng tham gia (N = 70) được tuyển chọn trong khoảng thời gian từ tháng 7 đến tháng 11 năm 2015 tại New York. Những đối tượng đủ điều kiện được cung cấp một bảng hỏi có cấu trúc. Các yếu tố liên quan đến việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện và trầm cảm được xác định thông qua phân tích bivariate và multivariable. Các yếu tố độc lập liên quan đến việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện hiện tại bao gồm độ tuổi, sự cởi mở về xu hướng tính dục, trải nghiệm tính đồng tính kỳ thị ở quê hương, tình trạng bị cưỡng hiếp tại quê hương, sự không ổn định trong nơi ở hiện tại, và đồng tính nội tâm. Các yếu tố độc lập liên quan đến trầm cảm bao gồm các triệu chứng của rối loạn căng thẳng sau chấn thương và việc sử dụng rượu. Việc sử dụng chất gây nghiện và trầm cảm có liên quan đến những trải nghiệm tiêu cực ở cả quê hương và quốc gia tiếp nhận.
