“…This estimate is consistent with those of prior studies [11] [15] [16]. Overall, of the 42,935 respondents included in the CHIS sample of California adults, 31,801 (74.1%) were self-reported US born citizens, 6735 (15.7%) were naturalized citizens, 2232 (5.2%) were legal permanent residents or visa-holders, and 2167 (5.0%) were undocumented immigrants (see Table 1).…”

“…Warren uses a similar method combining DHS data with items from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) to identify (probabilistically) undocumented immigrants in that sample [7]. In addition, Pourat and colleagues proposed a method for identifying immigration status using items in the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to estimate access and utilization for undocumented immigrants in California [11].…”

This paper explores disparities in health care access for undocumented immigrants in the United States. Using the case of California, we find that less than half of undocumented immigrants in this state report having health insurance. Additionally, our estimates show that, among the insured, US-born and naturalized citizens are significantly more likely to have a doctor visit in the previous year when compared to undocumented immigrants (aOR = 1.53%; 95% CI 1.15 -2.04, aOR = 1.40%; 95% CI 1.05 -1.87, respectively). Further, we find that US-born citizens are significantly more likely to use the ER in the previous year than undocumented immigrants, independent of insurance status. Our findings suggest that undocumented immigrants not only face barriers to obtain health insurance, but even with health insurance they face barriers to access health care services.

“…In addition, there are not enough community health centers to serve the intended population (124). Contrary to popular perceptions, immigrants use fewer health services (13,25,106) and tend to rely more on local community health centers and their programs. Community health centers will continue to be a vital health care source throughout most of the country for immigrants without coverage and should be supported to decrease the negative health effects of immigration, not only on immigrants but also on nonimmigrants in their communities and societies.…”

Although immigration and immigrant populations have become increasingly important foci in public health research and practice, a social determinants of health approach has seldom been applied in this area. Global patterns of morbidity and mortality follow inequities rooted in societal, political, and economic conditions produced and reproduced by social structures, policies, and institutions. The lack of dialogue between these two profoundly related phenomena-social determinants of health and immigration-has resulted in missed opportunities for public health research, practice, and policy work. In this article, we discuss primary frameworks used in recent public health literature on the health of immigrant populations, note gaps in this literature, and argue for a broader examination of immigration as both socially determined and a social determinant of health. We discuss priorities for future research and policy to understand more fully and respond appropriately to the health of the populations affected by this global phenomenon.

“…While previous research has linked legal status disparities in U.S.-based healthcare to differences in preventive service utilization (Pourat et al 2014; Rodriguez, Bustamante and Ang 2009), the link between the civic stratification of health care access on both sides of the border and preventive service utilization has not been made to our knowledge.…”

Civic Stratification and the Exclusion of Undocumented Immigrants from Cross-border Health Care

This paper proposes a theoretical framework and an empirical example of the relationship between the civic stratification of immigrants in the United States, and their access to healthcare. We use the 2007 Pew/RWJF Hispanic Healthcare Survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. Latinos (n=2783 foreign-born respondents) and find that immigrants who are not citizens or legal permanent residents are significantly more likely to be excluded from care in both the U.S. and across borders. Legal status differences in cross-border care utilization persisted after controlling for health status, insurance coverage, and other potential demographic and socio-economic predictors of care. Exclusion from care on both sides of the border was associated with reduced rates of receiving timely preventive services. Civic stratification, and political determinants broadly speaking, should be considered alongside social determinants of population health and healthcare.
