The Influence of County Contexts on Preterm Births Among Latina Mothers in the US
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is a significant public health issue, with implications for newborns, families, and society. The residential contexts in which mothers live may, in part, shape their risk of delivering preterm. Although ethnic enclaves—residential settings with a large concentration of people from the same ethnic group—exist within counties, little is known about how different county contexts …
Context matters: Placing the sociopolitical context into research on enclave-health effects and immigration enforcement
County governments across the U.S. adopt varied immigrant-related policies that facilitate or hinder immigrant inclusion. County-level social, economic, and geographic characteristics also differ by location-resulting in diverging immigrant inclusion goals and local contexts that disparately impact the lives and health of immigrants and their families. Although ethnic enclaves-communities where a large share of coethnic and immigrant residents li…
Everyday Violence: Immigration Enforcement, Covid-19, and Depression among Undocumented Young Adults in California
Researchers should consider the mental health implications of a punitive immigration enforcement system, and policymakers should examine the impacts of immigration policies on local communities
Contextualizing Inequities in Covid Vaccination Trends Among Project Refocus Pilot Sites: Racism-Related Determinants of Health
Community organizers, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can track racism-related factors and other social determinants of health as part of the contexts in which COVID-related inequities occur
An Equity-Based Scoring System for Evaluating Surveillance-Related Harm in Public Health Crises
The potential for surveillance systems to compromise the health and well-being of racialized and/or vulnerable populations has been understudied. This project developed and piloted a scoring system to accomplish this equity-based imperative. The nobler pursuits of public health to improve the health for all must be reconciled with these potential harms
Association between immigration enforcement encounters and Covid-19 testing and delays in care: A cross-sectional study of undocumented young adult immigrants in california
Immigration enforcement encounters compound barriers to COVID-19 testing and treatment for undocumented immigrants
Using Covid-19 Surveillance Systems to Identify and Monitor Disparities: Best Practices and Recommendations
Inadequate attention to racial health equity is a common challenge to effective, reliable monitoring and mitigation of COVID-19 disparities. Efforts to monitor and mitigate COVID-19 disparities continue to be hampered by inadequacies in how surveillance systems collect, tabulate, and report COVID-19-related outcomes. We conducted environmental scans of existing public health surveillance systems and reporting standards, literature reviews, focus …
Migration and the Health of Non-migrant Family: Findings from the Jamaica Return(ed) Migrants Study
Research on the association between migration and health among nonmigrant family in Jamaica is limited. Data from the 2012 Jamaica Return(ed) Migrants Study (N = 621) and weighted regression models were used to investigate the association between migration and health among left-behind women (n = 323) and men (n = 298) in Jamaica. Compared to women whose children lived in Jamaica, women who had a child abroad reported lower odds of good mental hea…
