The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Wednesday, July 28, 2021

Dear John,

Some papers in the July issue cover the intersection of COVID-19 and
migration policy.

COVID-19 & Migration Policy

Two papers in the July issue, Borders, Immigrants, And Health
, discuss how COVID-19
impacts migration policy.

In the first, Meghan Benton and Demetrios Papademetriou consider how
COVID-19 is reshaping border and immigration management

in the US and draw parallels with policy changes made after September
11, 2001.

The authors analyzed the pandemic's impact on migrants, migration
flows, and migration policies and argue that COVID-19 offers both risks
and opportunities for future safe travel and migration policy.

In the second, Ietza Bojorquez-Chapela and coauthors analyzed official
health policy documents in Mexico to study the extent to which the
country considered the needs of in-transit migrants and asylum seekers

in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The authors found that only a small number of publicly available
documents mentioned the health care needs of in-transit migrants and
asylum seekers.

Bojorquez-Chapela and coauthor Cesar Infante will appear on A Health
Podyssey
 
podcast next week to dive deeper into this research.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Steven Sheingold and colleagues from the
US Department of Health and Human Services argue that a debate over
social risk adjustment in isolation

is too narrow a lens for considering the systemic problem of poor
outcomes for vulnerable patients.

In a new GrantWatch post, Kelly Rand and Nancy C. Yedlin cover a recent
workgroup
,
funded by the ABIM Foundation and the Donaghue Foundation and managed by
AcademyHealth, on how low-value care is experienced by Black and Latinx
communities.
