“…Future research is suggested to investigate potential between-enclave differences by considering characteristics such as within-Latinx national origin, age, and time in the United States that differentiate distinct types of Latinx enclaves. For instance, in Miami-Dade County, Cubans constitute more than half of the Latinx population (Nicole, 2023). Hence, the Cuban enclaves of Miami (e.g., Little Havana, Hialeah) may have been especially supportive to the 34% of women with Cuban national origin in comparison to other groups such as Nicaraguan, Honduran, Peruvian, Mexican, and Venezuelan national origins.…”

“…Elucidating the predictors of medical care access could inform the development of culturally sensitive interventions for recent immigrants, thereby improving access to health care. Such interventions could help reduce health disparities faced by Latinas and address declines in health experienced by immigrants after immigration to the United States (Nicole, 2023).…”

The present longitudinal study examined changes in perceived access to health care among a recently immigrated cohort of Latina young adults who were assessed annually during their first 3 years in the United States. A parallel process growth model of perceived access to health care and neighborhood collective efficacy was examined, accounting for socioeconomic indicators and immigration status. Five hundred thirty Latina young adults (ages 18–23) participated at baseline assessment, and approximately 95% were retained over three annual assessment time points. Participants’ mean level of perceived access to health care increased during their initial 3 years in the United States. Women who reported more of an increase in perceived access to health care tended to also indicate increased neighborhood collective efficacy relative to their peers during their first 3 years in the United States. Findings offer important information about the individual- and community-level factors that influence recently immigrated Latinas’ health care access.
