Developmental Stage at Immigration and Mental Health: Group-Specific Findings Among Asian and Latinx Young Adults.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe immigrant paradox describes the phenomenon in which first-generation immigrants often report better mental health outcomes than their U.S.-born peers, despite facing greater social adversity. However, it remains unclear whether this phenomenon holds across specific mental health outcomes, racial/ethnic groups, and developmental stages at immigration. This study examined mental health among Asian and Latinx young adults who moved to the U.S. at different ages.
methodsUsing data from the 2022-2023 Healthy Minds Study of Asian (N = 8,694) and Latinx (N = 6,128) college students, we applied logistic regression models to assess odds of probable depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicidal ideation among students who moved to the U.S. during childhood (before age 12), adolescence (ages 12-17), and young adulthood (ages 18-30), compared to co-ethnic U.S.-born peers.
resultsCompared to U.S.-born Asians, Asian students who moved to the U.S. between ages 18 and 30 had lower odds of probable depression (OR = 0.82, p < .01), probable anxiety (OR = 0.78, p < .001), and suicidal ideation (OR = 0.80, p < .05), after adjusting for demographics. Latinx students who moved to the U.S. at different ages did not differ significantly in mental health outcomes, compared to U.S.-born Latinx peers.
conclusionAmong Asian students, a mental health advantage was observed only among students who arrived in adulthood. No such association was observed among Latinx students at any age of arrival. Findings point to distinct experiences of groups aggregated under broad racial and ethnic labels, depending on developmental timing of immigration.
