Immigration as a social determinant of health

TL;DR: Primary frameworks used in recent public health literature on the health of immigrant populations are discussed, gaps in this literature are noted, and a broader examination of immigration as both socially determined and a social determinant of health is argued.
Journal ArticleDOI

A social determinants framework identifying state-level immigrant policies and their influence on health.

TL;DR: Variation across immigrant policies is much larger than the variation in state demographic and political characteristics, suggesting that state-level policies need to be included as a possible independent, contextual effect, when assessing immigrant health outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Included, but Deportable: A New Public Health Approach to Policies That Criminalize and Integrate Immigrants.

TL;DR: This work presents data describing the variations in criminalization and integration policies across states and provides a framework that identifies distinct but concurrent mechanisms of deportability and inclusion that can influence health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Legal Status, Time in the USA, and the Well-Being of Latinos in Los Angeles

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the “health advantage” generally presumed to exist among immigrants may not affect undocumented immigrants, and shorter duration undocumented immigrants had worse self-reported health than the US born.
Journal ArticleDOI

More Inclusive States, Less Poverty Among Immigrants? An Examination of Poverty, Citizenship Stratification, and State Immigrant Policies

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that Asian/Pacific Islander (API) noncitizens experienced lower levels of poverty in states with higher levels of inclusion than non-citizens in the U.S., and that the gap in poverty rates between noncitizens and citizens is larger in more inclusive than less inclusive states.
