​This journal article uses data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to examine how race-ethnicity, nativity, and education interact to influence disparities in cardiovascular health. The authors compare foreign-born and native-born respondents with varying levels of educational attainment. They find that ethnicity-nativity differences were more pronounced among those with less than a college degree, indicating that education may close the gap between foreign-born and native rates of cardiovascular disease.
