The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Dear John,
Research published in the July issue compares immigration enforcement activity to health care use among Hispanic and non-Hispanic adults.
Effects Of Immigration Enforcement
Deportation enforcement activity may influence health care seeking
and access to care for both targeted undocumented residents and those close to them, including documented immigrants and US citizens.
They found that aggressive deportation enforcement in the US may make both undocumented and documented Hispanic residents reluctant to seek medical care. A negative correlation between increased deportation enforcement
and annual check-ups among Hispanic adults held even among diabetic patients, for whom lapses in care may confer significant health risks.
Friedman will discuss this research on an upcoming episode of A Health Podyssey.
