Researchers conducted the RIGHTS Study, developing a population-based survey of Asian and Latinx immigrants in California that measured 23 exclusionary experiences under health care and social services, education, labor/employment, and immigration enforcement policies.

This study examines the relationship between both cumulative and individual measures of employment exclusion and self-rated health and psychological distress among Asian and Latino immigrants in California, and whether this relationship is modified by legal status. The authors used data from the RIGHTS study.

Women of color and immigrant women are more likely than U.S.-born white women to report mistreatment and poor quality of care during their reproductive health care. Surprisingly, little research exists on how language access may impact immigrant women's experiences of maternity care, particularly by race and ethnicity.

Immigration enforcement policies are associated with immigrants' barriers to health care. Current evidence suggests that enforcement creates a "chilling effect" in which immigrants avoid care due to fear of encountering enforcement.

Although exclusionary immigration policies are associated with fear of deportation and avoidance of public benefits, relationships between immigration enforcement policy and public charge policies are largely unknown. Authors tested the relationship between immigrants' experiences with law enforcement and their concern about public charge.

Although revoked, the Trump Administration’s 2019 changes to the public charge rules contributed to avoidance of public programs among immigrants, even program-eligible immigrants, because immigrants believed access would affect their immigration status or that of a family member. Decreased participation in Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can negatively impact health and access to health care.

The Structural Impacts of Enforcement Policy on Latino Immigrant Health (Frontiers in Public Health)
As evidence of the negative health impact of immigration enforcement policy continues to mount, public health research has focused primarily on the psychosocial health mechanisms, such as fear and stress, by which immigration enforcement may harm health.

Little is known about how one’s undocumented status influences employment exclusions or workplace violations. In this fact sheet, authors present data on employment exclusions and violations in the workplace among immigrants with a history of having been undocumented.

In this fact sheet, authors present data from the Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy Study (RIGHTS) on the experiences and perceptions among adult Latinx and Asian immigrants in California regarding the federal public charge policy. Respondents reported their perceptions and experiences when accessing health care and using other public benefits.

Data on the health and social determinants for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in the United States are hidden because data are often not collected or are reported in aggregate with other racial/ethnic groups, despite decades of calls to disaggregate NHPI data. As a form of structural racism, data omissions contribute to systemic problems such as inability to advocate, lack of resources, and limitations to political power.
