Experiences of Discrimination and Microaggression of Latinx College Students and Their Mental Health Help-Seeking Behavior
Krizia Melendez
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of Toledo
Latinos who qualify for Deferred Action Childhood Arrival (DACA) and currently attend institutions of higher education are a unique subset of this population in the United States. The current literature focuses on all Latino DACA whether in or out of college, recipients' experiences of discrimination and its impact on their mental health, and their lack of healthcare access; However, literature solely focusing on Latino collegiate DACA recipients is limited. Moreover, Latino collegiate DACA recipients have greater access to health care and health services through their universities, unlike non-collegiate DACA recipients. This dissertation proposes to study the how experiences of discrimination and microaggression affect help-seeking behavior and utilization of mental health services of Latino DACA college students. Online survey will be sent to Latino students born in the United States and Latino DACA students to compare experiences of discrimination and its effects on mental health help-seeking behavior and/or utilization of mental health services in both groups. Online survey data will be analyzed to measure if the observed Latino DACA collegiate students use of mental health services differ from the Latino college students born in the U.S. Logistic regression and linear regression. The difference in effect of experiences of discrimination on help-seeking and utilization of mental health services of Latino DACA college students compared to Latino college students born in the United States will also be analyzed. Phenomenological study interviews will be conducted with 30 Latino DACA students who had taken the previous online survey to analyze their experiences with discrimination and their mental health help seeking behavior and/or utilization of mental health services. These interviews will be collected and analyzed using thematic analysis to draw out key themes related to experiencing discrimination and mental health help-seeking behavior. Looking at the experiences of discrimination of DACA college students and how it affects their mental health help-seeking behavior is important to study in order to better address future research, policy making, and health access decisions.
