What's New In Health Affairs

[link removed]

In a new article published ahead of print this week, Brian McGarry and
coauthors explore the link between skilled nursing facility staff size
and COVID-19 case rates
.

Using data from June through September 2020, they found that nursing
homes with the most staff members had cumulative resident case rates
that were 92 percent higher and death rates that were 133 percent higher
than those of facilities with the fewest staff members.

On Monday, 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.

* Sharon Borja and coauthors studied insurance rates of US citizen
migrant children

living in Mexico.

* 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.

* Rodrigo Dominguez-Villegas and Arturo Vargas Bustamante examined
health insurance coverage of people born in Mexico who left and returned
,
either voluntarily or because they were deported.

* 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
is
available on our website.

This week on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith discussed the announcement
that Marketplace enrollment growth

has already topped two million during the COVID-19 enrollment period.

The July 2021 thematic issue of

**Health Affairs**takes an intensive look at the

****policy issues related to immigrants, borders, and health. Articles
describe current migration trends and supply new data analysis and
commentary on how policies can address disparities and ease the
disproportionate health burden borne by immigrants.

Immigrant Health: Evidence & Policy Issues
Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 1:30-3 pm (EDT)

Please join us on Tuesday, July 20, when

**Health Affairs** takes a closer look at the effects of recent US
immigration policy on care, coverage, and outcomes for immigrants in the
United States. Topics will include how, in mixed status families,
noncitizen children face tougher health effects than their citizen
siblings; how immigration enforcement reduces use of benefits like
Medicaid and SNAP; and how states and others are crafting policy to
restore that critical safety net.
