Mental health services for addressing the generation-specific needs may be an effective way to prevent or reduce PD of MWs.Įpidemiology generation migrant worker psychological distress. The new-generation MWs are at higher risk for PD than the old-generation MWs. For the new-generation, correlates for PD included low monthly income, recent two-week physical morbidity, migrating alone, poor Mandarin proficiency and long working hours while for the old-generation, correlates for PD included low education, recent two-week physical morbidity, and having worked in many cities. ![]() The elevated risk of PD in the new- versus old-generation remained significant after controlling for potential confounders (OR=1.51, P < 0.001). PD was more prevalent in the new- than old-generation MWs (36.2% versus 28.2%, P < 0.001). A GHQ-12 score of 3 or higher was used to denote PD. A total of 3031 MWs (691 old- and 2340 new-generation MWs) completed a standardized questionnaire containing socio-demographic, migration-related, and work-related variables and the Chinese 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). ![]() ![]() This study investigated intergenerational difference in prevalence and correlates of psychological distress (PD) in MWs. However, very few related studies are available and they produced conflicting findings. Examining difference in the epidemiology of poor mental health between the new- and old-generation (those born before 1980) MWs would facilitate mental health promotion efforts. ![]() Rural-to-urban migrant workers (MWs) are a large vulnerable population in China and, recently, the new-generation MWs (those born in 1980 or later) have become the majority of this population. ![]()
