Behind the Pages: July 2021 Issue on Borders, Immigrants & Health

In July, Health Affairs published an issue dedicated to borders,
immigrants, and health.
 
A public health crisis is unfolding along and inside the
US-Mexico border. Immigrants arriving at the US border are likely
to have experienced political, economic, or interpersonal
violence prior to their arrival, leading to unmet mental health
and physical health needs. Immigrants detained at the border may
face crime and violence in border towns as they await trial in
the US, or prolonged stays in detention centers and family
separations if they are able to cross the border. Immigrants in
the US face health challenges that extend well beyond the border.



Health policy issues are impacted by the continuously shifting
demography of US immigrants. The July 2021 journal issue of
Health Affairs and related content focuses on immigrants and
borders and the impact on health policy. The issue examines
recent trends in immigrant health and health care after the Great
Recession and the nationwide implementation of the Affordable
Care Act (ACA).


In today's episode of Health Affairs This Week, Senior Editors
Leslie Erdelack and Jessica Bylander discuss the publication
process and highlight research insights from the issue.
