“…The association between parents’ expectations and students’ academic outcomes has consistently been found across students identified with a range of disabilities; however, parents of students with disabilities tend to have lower expectations than parents of students in the general population (Newman, 2005). In addition, in contrast to the higher expectations held by parents of immigrant youth (Arellanes et al, 2017; Ojeda & Flores, 2008) the expectations of parents of students with disabilities tend to be lower than those that students hold for themselves (Wagner, Newman, Cameto, Levine, & Marder, 2007).…”

“…Among Black and Latino immigrant and first-generation secondary students, parents tend to hold high expectations that their child will enroll in postsecondary education and their expectations strongly influence those of their students’ (Chavira, Cooper, & Vasquez-Salgado, 2016; Irvin, Byun, Meece, Reed, & Farmer, 2016). Both parent and youth expectations are associated with the belief that education is linked to upward mobility (Arellanes, Viramontez Anguiano, & Lohman, 2017; Kiyama, 2010; Ojeda & Flores, 2008). Moreover, actual and perceived barriers, such as economic hardship and discrimination, have been associated with lowered student and parent expectations for Black and Latino youth (Behnke, Plunkett, Behnke, Sands, & Choi, 2009).…”

“…Moreover, actual and perceived barriers, such as economic hardship and discrimination, have been associated with lowered student and parent expectations for Black and Latino youth (Behnke, Plunkett, Behnke, Sands, & Choi, 2009). Immigrant youth expectations can be influenced by immigration experiences (e.g., age, generational status, documentation issues, parents’ education attainment), with parents’ expectations higher than youth expectations (Arellanes et al, 2017; Perreira & Spees, 2015).…”

Postsecondary education has become increasingly important as the gap in earnings between high school and college graduates continues to widen (Pew Research Center, 2014). Census Bureau data indicate that 88% college graduates and 77% of those with some college were employed, as compared with 69% of high school graduates (McFarland et al., 2017). Although postsecondary education outcomes have generally improved for students with disabilities as a whole, progress has not been consistent across disability, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic subpopulations (Newman et al., 2011). These differential outcomes are particularly apparent for a growing sector of the U.S. school population: those who are dually identified as English learner (EL) students with disabilities. Many of these students face multiple barriers to postsecondary success, including those associated with disability intertwined with challenges linked to language and literacy development (Klingner, Artiles, & Barletta, 2006), structural barriers associated with individual-and community-level discrimination and poverty, and diminished access to high performing, resourced schools (Samson & Lesaux, 2015). To help address some of these barriers, researchers have focused on identifying the secondary transition practices and predictors related to improved postschool success (e.g.

BackgroundMigration has challenged society. Most people who move do so for economic reasons, but others move for more tragic reasons. The proportion of female migrants was slightly higher than that of male migrants, partly due to the longer life expectancy of women and the higher demand for female migrants in care‐related Jobs. The process may affect migrants' health, particularly in countries where healthcare is associated with high economic costs or insurance availability. A global systematic review of qualitative studies with meta‐synthesis was conducted. The results can be used to support health policy and clinical practice.ObjectiveTo describe how migrants perceive and experience the process of migrating and how it affects their health.Search strategyDatabases consulted were Medline, PsychInfo, Cuiden, Cinahl, WOS, Scopus, Social Science Database, and Epistemonikos. Thirty‐four articles were selected for final meta‐synthesis.Inclusion criteriaAll qualitative primary studies were included that describe the experiences or perceptions of migrants and refugees over 18 years that talk about their migration process and the impact on their health; written in English or Spanish between 2016 and 2021. Articles referring to second generations and those dealing with pathologies that pre‐date the migration process were excluded.Data extraction and synthesisThe COREQ and JBI templates were used as quality criteria. Studies mostly used a phenomenological methodology and in‐depth interviews, both individual and group, were used for data collection and narrative synthesis.Main resultsUncertainty emerges as a main category. Three other interrelated themes have a direct impact on migrants' health: Language, Social Networks and Work. There are several conditions in each of these that have a positive or negative impact on health. The gender condition appears in both work and social networks, positively and negatively.Discussion and conclusionsHealth would be improved by having a stable job, which would facilitate access to health resources. Social networks and language are facilitators of access to a better job, but not the only condition. From a gender perspective, social networks can become a source of health problems, especially for women. The process of migration places women in a position of vulnerability due to the difficulties of reconciling family and work life. Job insecurity, workload, loss of family life or social isolation increase hopelessness and anxiety, leading to health problems.Public or patient contribution:As an academic review study, no patient contribution was required, and this study serves as a theoretical framework for more in‐depth research that will work with migrant populations. As a public contribution, this work provides evidence of the need to improve access to health for some populations, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set for 2030.
