description | During the migration process, Latinx immigrant youth often experience prolonged periods of separation from their families for a range of reasons. Family separation can have numerous harmful effects on children's well-being, but little is known about how separation might affect the quality of the parent-child relationship, an important protective factor, particularly for adolescents. This study examined the relationship between immigration-related family separation and the quality of the parent-child relationship in a community-based sample of 716 Latinx immigrant adolescents. Sixty percent of the sample reported separation from either or both parents as a result of immigration. Independent of covariates, and compared to youth who were not separated from a parent, youth who reported experiencing immigration-related separation from their mother were 4.7 times as likely to report poor relationship quality with their mother, and those reporting separation from their fathers were 3.4 times as likely to report poor relationship quality with their father. Implications for policy and interventions are discussed.
Los jóvenes inmigrantes Latinos, durante el proceso de migración, con frecuencia enfrentan periodos prolongados de separación de sus familias por varias razones. La separación de la familia puede traer consigo numerosos efectos perjudiciales para el bienestar de los niños, sin embargo, poco se sabe acerca de cómo dicha separación podría afectar la calidad de la relación padre/madre-hijo, un factor protector importante, especialmente para adolescentes. Este estudio examinó la asociación entre la separación familiar relacionada con la inmigración y la calidad de relación padre/madre-hijo en una muestra comunitaria compuesta por 716 adolescentes inmigrantes Latinos. Un sesenta porciento de la muestra reportó haber experimentado una separación de uno o ambos padres como resultado de la inmigración. Independientemente de las covariables, y en comparación con los jóvenes que no experimentaron una separación de sus padres, los jóvenes que reportaron haber experimentado una separación de la madre como consecuencia de la inmigración mostraron 4.7 veces más probabilidad de mantener una relación pobre con la madre, y aquellos que reportaron haber experimentado una separación del padre mostraron 3.4 veces más probabilidad de mantener una relación pobre con el padre. Las implicaciones de política publica e intervenciones son discutidas.

Public Significance Statement
Positive parent-child relationships are important promoters of health and well-being for adolescents. However, when Latinx youth experience immigration-related separation from their mother or father, they are significantly more likely to report poor relationship quality with that parent. This finding offers important additional evidence that policies that facilitate or force children to be separated from their parents are harmful, even to older children. Working to reduce immigration-related parent-child separation, and support interventions to strengthen parent-child relationships upon reunification, may help to reduce health disparities among Latinx immigrant youth.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2578-8086</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2578-8094</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1037/lat0000153</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Educational Publishing Foundation</publisher><subject>Family Relations ; Family Separation ; Fathers ; Female ; Human ; Immigration ; Latinos/Latinas ; Male ; Parent Child Relations ; Parents ; Relationship Quality ; Well Being</subject><ispartof>Journal of latinx psychology, 2020-11, Vol.8 (4), p.300-316</ispartof><rights>2020 American Psychological Association</rights><rights>2020, American Psychological Association</rights><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-a224t-a5021ee2716e783305f872892e8ea6be9869401ae82e0882b4b4badca207e9643</citedby><orcidid>0000-0003-3606-2871</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27900,27901</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Conway, C.
