Objective Many Haitian migrants live and work as undocumented laborers in the Dominican Republic. This study examines the legacy of anth Haitian discrimination in the Dominican Republic and association of discrimination with mental health among Haitian migrants. Design. This study used mixed methods to generate hypotheses for associations between discrimination and mental health of Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic. In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 Haitian and 18 Dominican community members and clinicians. One hundred and twenty-seven Haitian migrants participated in a pilot cross-sectional community survey, Instruments included culturally adapted Kreyôl versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAl) and a locally developed function impairment scale Results. Haitian migrants described humiliation (imilyasyon) as a reason for mental distress and barrier to health care. Dominicans reported that discrimination (discriminación) was not a current social problem and attributed negative social interactions to sociocultural, behavioral, and biological differences between Dominicans and Haitians. These qualitative findings were supported in the quantitative analyses. Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with depression severity and functional impairment. Perceived mistreatment by Dominicans w associated with a 66-point increase in BDI score (90% confidence interval [CII 3 29.9 9) Knowing someone who was interrogated or deported was associated with a 3 4-port increase in BAI score (90% Cl 0 22. 6 64) Conclusion Both qualitative and quantitative methods suggest that perceived discrimination and the experience of humiliation contribute to Haitian migrant mental ill-health and limit access to health care. Future research should evaluate these associations and identify intervention pathways for both improved treatment access and reduction of discrimination-related health risk factors.
