“…A third set of quantitative studies focuses on the degree of worry, stress, or fear associated with local immigration enforcement efforts, state-level restrictive immigrant policies, undocumented/unauthorized status, and sentiments towards immigrants (14, 79, 133). For example, the annual Pew National Survey of Latinos asks, “Regardless of your own immigration or citizenship status, how much, if at all, do you worry that you, a family member, or a close friend could be deported?” (109). Arbona et al developed a 7-item scale to assess whether individuals avoided or did not engage with common activities (e.g., applying for a driver’s license, seeking help from public agencies, and reporting crime to the police) because of “fear or concerns of being deported “ (11).…”

“…First, IE activities have had broad community effects. They have been associated with a heightened sense of fear in immigrant communities, leading individuals to avoid common activities that involve interactions with public officials (11, 48, 72, 96, 109). Consequently, increasing deportation rates have been associated with reductions in enrollment in both the Medicaid and the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program among noncitizens (130, 132, 141).…”

Immigrants to the U.S. face the challenge of adapting to life in a new country with a different culture, norms, and social institutions. These social institutions include an array of federal, state, and municipal laws and administrative practices that can either facilitate or hinder immigrant integration. Guided by a structural framework for understanding social determinants of health, this review examines the literature on immigration-related policies that influence the health of immigrants. We begin with an overview of the pathways through which policies can influence health. We then discuss empirical research strategies for identifying the effects of policies on health. Next, we review evidence from federal welfare and health reforms, local immigration enforcement activities, and state and local immigrant integration policies. Our conclusion highlights the gaps in existing research and the steps that can be taken to better promote the health of immigrants and, consequently, their economic and social integration.

“…Often, both patients and medical workers become dependent on the political system of the country. For instance, the US law does not provide a legal framework for the granting of healthcare to unregistered citizens (Kuczewski, 2017, Rodriguez et al, 2017. Such patients can only receive emergency care, while further treatment without medical insurance is not possible.…”

The purpose of this research was to elucidate the main ethical issues that arise during decision-making and medical communication influenced by interfaith and intercultural differences. The statistical analysis of information retrieved from the United Nations official web site, as well as the analysis of secondary data taken from the literature sources, were applied to achieve the goal set. The outcomes of the study reveal that in Germany, Russia, and the United States, ethical problems in decision-making and communication in healthcare exist since the cultures and faiths of these countries' populations vary. Moreover, beliefs become more diverse due to the increasing number of migrants and medical tourists. It was found what ethical peculiarities of a particular religion can affect decision-making and communication during the provision of medical services to patients undergoing treatment in Germany, Russia, or the US. The results of the research can be applied in the scientific studies on ethical issues that arise in healthcare, as well as in the process of setting diagnosis, providing preventive care, treatment, transplantation, and euthanasia.

“…The 8-item Chronic Burden Scale was assessed at visit 2 [ 59 ] and is being reassessed among the ancillary study subsample as a measure of chronic stress [ 60 ]. Using established scales available in Spanish and English, material hardship [ 61 ] and immigration-related stress [ 62 ] are measured as forms of stress unrelated to sexual orientation or gender identity.…”

Background Hispanic/Latino sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are the fastest growing ethnic group of SGM in the United States. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among Hispanics/Latinos. SGM inequities in CVD risk have been identified as early as young adulthood, and minority stress has been identified as a potential mediator. Yet, the small number of ethnic or racial minority participants in SGM studies have precluded the examination of the intersections of sexual orientation, gender identity, and race and ethnicity. Objective Minority stress models conceptualize relationships between stressors in minority groups and health outcomes. In this study, we will (1) examine the influence of sexual orientation and gender identity on CVD risk among all Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) participants at visit 3 (2021-2024; N~9300); (2) model pathways from sexual orientation and gender identity to CVD risk through stigma, discrimination, and stress in a 1:2 matched subcohort of SGM and non-SGM participants at visit 3 (n~1680); and (3) examine the influence of resilience factors on sexual orientation or gender identity and CVD risk relationships among subcohort participants at visit 3 (n~1680). Methods This study will leverage existing data from the parent HCHS/SOL study (collected since 2008) while collecting new data on sexual orientation, gender identity, stigma, discrimination, stress, coping, social support, and CVD risk. Data analysis will follow the SGM minority stress model, which states that excess stigma against SGM populations leads to minority stress that increases CVD risk. In this model, coping and social support serve as resilience factors that can mitigate the impact of minority stress on CVD risk. Cross-sectional and longitudinal regression models as well as structural equation models will be used to test these relationships. Results This study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in March 2020. Recruitment is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2021 and continue through 2024. Conclusions Understanding the influence of stigma-induced stress on CVD risk among Hispanic/Latino SGM has significant implications for the development of culturally specific CVD risk reduction strategies. Study findings will be used to build on identified Hispanic/Latino cultural strengths to inform adaptation and testing of family and community acceptance interventions.
