Effectiveness of implementing evidence-based approaches to promote physical activity in a Midwestern micropolitan area using a quasi-experimental hybrid type I study design
The study demonstrates that the adapted evidence-based PA interventions in a micropolitan context is effective
Large-scale immigration worksite raids
Immigration enforcement – or the surveillance, detention, and deportation of noncitizens – detrimentally impacts health, with spillover effects on the families of those targeted. However, less is known about how immigration enforcement impacts communities, regardless of the immigration statuses of members. Immigration worksite raids can involve hundreds of agents, helicopters, and buses descending unannounced upon rural towns with small Latino po…
Operationalizing racialized exposures in historical research on anti-Asian racism and health
Background: Addressing contemporary anti-Asian racism and its impacts on health requires understanding its historical roots, including discriminatory restrictions on immigration, citizenship, and land ownership. Archival secondary data such as historical census records provide opportunities to quantitatively analyze structural dynamics that affect the health of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans. Census data overcome weaknesses of other data so…
Challenges to addressing mental health repercussions of large-scale immigration worksite raids in the rural United States
Immigration worksite raids-in which dozens to hundreds of individuals are detained-often target food processing plants or other warehouse-based operations, primary sources of employment for immigrants in rural communities. Drawing on interviews with 77 adults who provided support following six worksite raids, we describe three challenges to identifying resultant mental health impacts: 1) amid poverty and family disappearance, mental health is not…
Racialization and Reproduction
During the twentieth century, state health authorities in California recommended sterilization for over 20,000 individuals held in state institutions. Asian immigrants occupied a marginalized position in racial, gender, and class hierarchies in California at the height of its eugenic sterilization program. Scholars have documented the disproportionate sterilization of other racialized groups, but little research exists connecting the racist, gend…
Vicarious structural racism and infant health disparities in Michigan
Building on nascent literature examining the health-related effects of vicarious structural racism, we examined indirect exposure to the Flint Water Crisis (FWC) as a predictor of birth outcomes in Michigan communities outside of Flint, where residents were not directly exposed to lead-contaminated water. Using linear regression models, we analyzed records for all singleton live births in Michigan from 2013 to 2016, excluding Flint, to determine …
Large-Scale Immigration Worksite Raids and Mixed-Status Families
Mixed-status families-whose members have multiple immigration statuses-are common in US immigrant communities. Large-scale worksite raids, an immigration enforcement tactic used throughout US history, returned during the Trump administration. Yet, little research characterizes the impacts of these raids, especially as related to mixed-status families. The current study (1) describes a working definition of a large-scale worksite raid and (2) cons…
The repercussions of large-scale immigration worksite raids on immigrant women
We conducted a community-based study to analyze outcomes of and community responses to six large-scale immigration worksite raids by conducting semi-structured interviews with individuals who responded to these raids. Participants (n = 77) represented four primary sectors: faith, advocacy, education, and law. Analyses show that large-scale immigration worksite raids frequently prompt family reorganization and generally impact men and women differ…
Preventing the Spread of Covid-19 in Immigration Detention Centers Requires the Release of Detainees
Immigration detention centers are densely populated facilities in which restrictive conditions limit detainees’ abilities to engage in social distancing or hygiene practices designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. With tens of thousands of adults and children in more than 200 immigration detention centers across the United States, immigration detention centers are likely to experience COVID-19 outbreaks and add substantially to the population…
Health Equity in Midsize Rural Communities
Establishing a Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership in a Rural Community in the Midwest
Our experience suggests the importance and challenge of considering the multiple dimensions of health disparities in rural new destination Midwestern communities
It Works, But For Whom? Examining Racial Bias in Carding Experiences and Acceptance of a County Identification Card
Purpose: Policies that restrict access to U.S. government-issued photo identification (ID) cards adversely affect multiple marginalized communities. This context impedes access to health-promoting resources that increasingly require government-issued IDs and exacerbates health inequities. In 2015, Washtenaw County, Michigan, implemented the Washtenaw ID to improve access to resources contingent upon having an ID. We employed an audit study to exa…
Active Ottumwa
Background : Evidence-based interventions have been developed and tested to promote physical activity, but fewer studies have focused on identifying effective intervention strategies for mid-size rural communities, especially new immigrant destinations. We report here on the design and implementation of Active Ottumwa, a community-wide intervention using a lay health advisor approach to increase physical activity in a micropolitan new destination…
Disproportionate Sterilization of Latinos Under California’s Eugenic Sterilization Program, 1920–1945
Objectives. To compare population-based sterilization rates between Latinas/os and non-Latinas/os sterilized under California’s eugenics law. Methods. We used data from 17 362 forms recommending institutionalized patients for sterilization between 1920 and 1945. We abstracted patient gender, age, and institution of residence into a data set. We extracted data on institution populations from US Census microdata from 1920, 1930, and 1940 and interp…
California’s Sterilization Survivors
From 1919 to 1952, approximately 20 000 individuals were sterilized in California’s state institutions on the basis of eugenic laws that sought to control the reproductive capacity of people labeled unfit and defective. Using data from more than 19 000 sterilization recommendations processed by state institutions over this 33-year period, we provide the most accurate estimate of living sterilization survivors. As of 2016, we estimate that as many…
The development and validation of an urbanicity scale in a multi-country study
This study demonstrates and validates a robust multidimensional, multi-country urbanicity scale. It is an important step on the path to creating a tool to assess complex processes like urbanization. This scale provides the means to understand which elements of urbanization have the greatest impact on health
