Who is a migrant?
• No universally accepted definition– Countries and agencies use their own
criteria based on their respective legislation and policies
• Exceptions: refugees, victims of human trafficking
• Terms used inconsistently or as synonyms – E.g., immigrant, migrant worker,
“illegal”, Latino, farmworker

Terminology used in this presentation
• International migrant (~foreign-born)– a person who is residing in a country other
than his or her country of birth– Includes:
• Naturalized citizens• Legal permanent residents• Temporary resident visas (e.g., work, study)• Unauthorized immigrants• Refugees
(UN International Migration Report 2015, 2016)

Migrant health: beyond individual migrants
• Migrant’s family– Second and later generations
• Family and communities in country of origin
• Communities in host country

Determinants of health for migrants: Across the phases of migration
1. Origin country
Pre-departure + Return
2. Journey + Transit country
3. Destination country?

Determinants of health for migrants: Health risks associated with journey
• Authorized migrants or enough $ => Limited health risks
• Unauthorized economic migrants and refugees => Higher health risks– Injuries– Physical/mental abuse

Biologic and genetic factors
• Genetic predispositions – e.g., thalassemia and
hemoglobinopathies among African- and Asian-born
• Natural or acquired immunity – e.g., malaria, hepatitis A
• Different age and gender distributions

Disparities in social determinants of health for the foreign-born
• Compared to US-born, the foreign-born are more likely:– Racial/ethnic minority– Experience discrimination– Language barriers– Poor– Less educated– Poor working and living conditions– Excluded from social benefits by policies

Living conditions
• Immigrants more likely to experience residential segregation (“ethnic enclaves”)
• New immigrant destinations beyond traditional gateways

Language barriers for the foreign-born
• 84% speak a language other than English at home
• 20.4 million (50%) are limited English proficient (LEP)*
*LEP = speaks English "not at all”, "not well“, or "well"

Migration legal status
• 53% of migrants are not U.S. citizens
• Determines access to work, education, healthcare and public benefits
• Distrust of government – Fear of law enforcement agencies
and of deportation

Limited social and legal protection
• Anti-immigrant policies– Exclusion from social benefits
• Limited political power• High risk of abuse and
discrimination• Unaware of rights• Fear of using services and
reporting abuse

Migrants include some of the most vulnerable populations
• Victims of human trafficking• Refugees and asylees• Unauthorized immigrants• Vulnerable workers (e.g., farmworkers,
day laborers, housemaids)

Great diversity in health indicators among the foreign-born
• Big differences by gender, age, country of birth and other migration-related factors:– Race/ethnicity– Age at arrival to the United States– Year of arrival to the United States
• Careful with overgeneralizing!
![Page 39: How Healthy/Unhealthy are Migrants and Why? · “illegal”, Latino, farmworker. Terminology used in this ... Disease risks and access to healthcare in countries of origin, transit](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050216/5f624ab05602745509171e37/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Evidence on health of foreign-born vs. U.S.-born population
• The foreign-born have:• Health advantages for some indicators• Health disparities for other indicators
• Limitations in available data, particularly for:• Sub-populations (e.g., specific nationalities)• Local data
![Page 40: How Healthy/Unhealthy are Migrants and Why? · “illegal”, Latino, farmworker. Terminology used in this ... Disease risks and access to healthcare in countries of origin, transit](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050216/5f624ab05602745509171e37/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Migrant health data limitations (1)
1. Key migration-related variables not routinely collected
• e.g., country of birth, citizenship, years in the United States
2. Some migration-relevant diseases not routinely monitored
• e.g., Chagas disease

Migrant health data limitations (2)
3. Some higher-risk migrant populations may not be included in studies or national data systems
• e.g., new arrivals, unauthorized, farmworkers, non-English speakers

Broad evidence on migrant health advantages
• Mental health• Alcohol and substance use• Smoking• Obesity• Diabetes• Maternal and child health• Some cancers (e.g., lung, breast, prostate)• In spite of disadvantaged socioeconomic
status!!

Infectious disease disparities (1)
• Foreign-born from higher-endemicitycountries may represent a disproportionate share of cases diagnosed in the United States– Tuberculosis (TB), HIV, typhoid fever, Hansen’s
disease, parasitic diseases
• May develop disease years after arrivalSources: Barnet et al. 2008; Avery, 2001; White et al. 2002; Tsang et al., 2017; Prosser, 2012; Scott et al 2015)

Evidence on infectious disease disparities (2)
• Late diagnosis for TB and HIV• Lower completion of TB treatment• Risk factors may be different than
U.S.-born population– Higher % of heterosexual HIV transmission– Consumption of Mexican-style unpasteurized
