Binomial logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between immigrant status and behavioral/psychiatric outcomes. <br><br>RESULTS: Mexican immigrants report substantially lower levels of criminal and violent behaviors, substance use disorders, and mental disorders compared to US-born individuals. <br><br>CONCLUSION: While some immigrants from Mexico have serious behavioral and psychiatric problems, Mexican immigrants in general experience such problems at far lower rates than US-born individuals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
