The Lasting Association between Interrupted Medical Care During US Immigration Detention and Mental Health Outcomes
Detained immigrants with chronic health conditions face heightened exposure to health-harming conditions, including interrupted medical care for chronic conditions, with potentially long-lasting health consequences, including for mental health. Drawing on a unique longitudinal referral sample of 192 individuals with chronic conditions released from U.S. immigration detention between 2020 and 2021 and followed through 2023, we find that 42% experi…
The health-related experiences of detained immigrants with and without mental illness
There is pressing need for policy actions and protections to mitigate health harms experienced in immigration detention
Has population mental health returned to pre-pandemic levels, among and between racialized groups and by immigration status
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted population health, including mental health, in ways that were patterned unevenly by pre-existing systemic inequalities such as structural gendered racism and xenophobia. However, it remains unclear whether pandemic-related mental health deterioration has persisted over time. Drawing on theories of disruptive events and structural racism, we conceptualize the pandemic as a prolonged macro-level disruptive …
Adverse Infant Health Outcomes Increased After the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election Among Non-White U.S.-born and Foreign-born Mothers
Macro-level events such as elections can improve or harm population health across existing axes of stratification through policy changes and signals of inclusion or threat. This study investigates whether rates of, and disparities in, adverse birth outcomes between racialized and nativity groups changed after Donald Trump's November 2016 election, a period characterized by increases in xenophobic and racist messages, policies, and actions in the …
U.S. Citizen Children De Facto Deported to Mexico
Between 2000 and 2015, the U.S. deported unprecedented numbers of Mexican immigrants. During the same period, the population of U.S.‐born children living in Mexico doubled in size. This study estimates the number of U.S.‐born children who emigrated to Mexico from the United States in order to accompany a deported parent: de facto deported children. The data come from the Mexican National Survey of Demographic Dynamics (ENADID), a national probabi…
Daca's Association With Birth Outcomes Among Mexican-Origin Mothers in the United States
The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program granted work authorization and protection from deportation to more than 800,000 young undocumented immigrants who arrived to the United States as minors. We estimate the association between this expansion of legal rights and birth outcomes among 72,613 singleton births to high school–educated Mexican immigrant women in the United States from June 2010 to May 2014, using birth records …
The Life-Course Timing of Legalization
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was created to mitigate some of the harmful consequences of undocumented immigration status. Although research shows that the DACA program promoted employment outcomes for the average DACA recipient, life-course theory and immigrant integration theory suggest that the program may differentially affect younger and older recipients. Using data from the American Community Survey, the authors …
