Health And The US-Mexico Border
Today, Health Affairs hosted the first of two July issue briefings. The virtual event focused on health and health policy on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Featured authors presented their research published in the July issue, Borders, Immigrants, and Health.
•Ietza Bojorquez-Chapela and coauthors analyzed Mexican health policy documents to study the extent to which in-transit migrants and asylum seekers were considered in the country’s COVID-19 response.
•Arturo Vargas Bustamante and coauthors examined health trends and disparities in health care and coverage among US-born residents and immigrants.
•C. Nicholas Cuneo and coauthors examined data about people seeking asylum in the US from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who presented to a medical clinic in Boston.
•Keith Gennuso and colleagues calculated life expectancy by race and place for counties on the US side of the US-Mexico border. A recording of the event will be available on our website by the end of this week. Don't miss our second July issue briefing focused on
