1 Literature Review Assignment STUDENT NAME Class Date 2 Part A: Annotated Bibliography Article 1: Immigration as a Social Determinant of Health Castañeda, H., Holmes, S. M., Madrigal, D. S., Young, M.-E. D., Beyeler, N., & Quesada, J. (2015). Immigration as a Social Determinant of Health. Annual Review of Public Health, 36(1), 375–392. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-032013-182419 Abstract Although immigration and immigrant populations have become increasingly important foci in public health research and practice, a social determinants of health approach has seldom been applied in this area. Global patterns of morbidity and mortality follow inequities rooted in societal, political, and economic conditions produced and reproduced by social structures, policies, and institutions. The lack of dialogue between these two profoundly related phenomena—social determinants of health and immigration—has resulted in missed opportunities for public health research, practice, and policy work. In this article, we discuss primary frameworks used in recent public health literature on the health of immigrant populations, note gaps in this literature, and argue for a broader examination of immigration as both socially determined and a social determinant of health. We discuss priorities for future research and policy to understand more fully and respond appropriately to the health of the populations affected by this global phenomenon. Annotated Bibliography The article reports on the importance of identifying social determinants and the effects of socially determined structures among immigrant populations in the United States. The study identifies ways in which immigrants health outcomes are based on biases due to using 3 information based on group behaviors instead of on an induvial case. The impact of migrant and immigrant individuals, physical and mental health in these communities’ changes as social, economic, and political policies take place. This article is helpful in that broadens the immigration experience including more central factors than just language, income, or education as the cause of all health related problems in this community. But to show factors of power structures and the ability to put in place effective health interventions that respond to direct causes of poor or declining health in these populations. Article 2: Fear by Association: Perceptions of Anti-Immigrant Policy and Health Outcomes Vargas, Edward & Sanchez, Gabriel & Juárez, Melina. (2017). Fear by Association: Perceptions of Anti-Immigrant Policy and Health Outcomes. Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law. 42. 3802940. 10.1215/03616878-3802940. Abstract The United States is experiencing a renewed period of immigration and immigrant policy activity as well as heightened enforcement of such policies. This intensified activity can affect various aspects of immigrant health, including mental health. We use the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 2015 Latino National Health and Immigration Survey (n = 1,493) to examine the relationship between immigration and immigrant policy and Latino health and well-being. We estimate a series of categorical regression models and find that there are negative health consequences associated with Latinos’ perceptions of living in states with unfavorable anti- immigration laws, including reporting poor health and problems with mental health. This article builds on the work of public health scholars who have found a link between this heightened 4 policy environment and the mental health of immigrants, yet expands on this research by finding that the health consequences associated with immigration policy extend to Latinos broadly, not just immigrants. These findings are relevant to scholars of immigration and health policy as well as policy makers who should consider these negative effects on the immigrant community during their decision-making process. Annotated Bibliography The article explores the relationship between anti-immigrant and anti-Hispanic policies and the effects on health outcomes between both communities. The study shows the health consequences associated with national and state laws and services that spread beyond the undocumented community. Hostile environments created by these immigrant laws have led to increases in fear anxiety, depression, blood pressure, heart disease and other health related stressors. This article is useful as it identifies the connection between immigrants and Latino Americans and the fear amongst either communities when accessing or the denial of healthcare. These findings are relevant to health policy and policy makers, who should contemplate the disparaging health consequences of legislation being passed. The research finds it convincing that amongst Latino’s regardless of their personal immigration status, they could be impacted by retaliatory laws if they happen to look like an immigrant. Article 3: Policies of Exclusion: Implications for the Health of Immigrants and Their Children Perreira, K. M., & Pedroza, J. M. (2019). Policies of Exclusion: Implications for the Health of Immigrants and Their Children. Annual Review of Public Health, 40(1), 147–166. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-040218-044115 5 Abstract Public policies play a crucial role in shaping how immigrants adapt to life in the United States. Federal, state, and local laws and administrative practices impact immigrants’ access to education, health insurance and medical care, cash assistance, food assistance, and other vital services. Additionally, immigration enforcement activities have substantial effects on immigrants’ health and participation in public programs, as well as effects on immigrants’ families. This review summarizes the growing literature on the consequences of public policies for immigrants’ health. Some policies are inclusive and promote immigrants’ adaptation to the United States, whereas other policies are exclusionary and restrict immigrants’ access to public programs as well as educational and economic opportunities. We explore the strategies that researchers have employed to tease out these effects, the methodological challenges of undertaking such studies, their varying impacts on immigrant health, and steps that can be undertaken to improve the health of immigrants and their families. Annotated Bibliography The article examines the struggles immigrants face obtaining healthcare access and services for themselves as well as their children. The article uncovers current healthcare policies and denial of service, and how the United States should provide more inclusion healthcare policies. Current policies in place don’t provide defined status of care for “immigrants in transition”, those who are in the process to become legal citizens. With such gaps, levels of care are not accessible to pregnant woman and children. This article points out the accessibility to services, when healthcare policies and programs are put into place without properly defining each population and their right to service. This is relevant because immigration is a transition, therefore federal, state, and local policies should cater to this shift. 6 Part B: Literature Review Methodology and Matrix Literature Review Methodology To conduct this literature review, an exploration of literature inclusive of credible organizations and publications was undertaken by two student researchers. The first researcher perused publications using the search terms “oral health AND low income” as well as the US Census Bureau, 2020 and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The second researcher conducted two separate searches using CINHAL and Academic Search Complete databases. The first search terms used were “oral health AND prenatal care AND health promotion AND African American women AND prevention”. The second search terms used were “oral health AND pregnancy AND health promotion AND interprofessional collaboration. To further limit these results, findings were restricted to peer-reviewed publications between 2015 – 2020 in the United States resulting in 41 and 8 articles in the first and second search, respectively. An abstract review then determined inclusion of the article into the literature review report. A total of 19 journal articles and three websites were included in this literature review. 7 Literature Review Matrix: Focus on Oral Health among Pregnant Women Author(s), Year, Title of Journal Article, Journal Name, Vol #, Page Numbers (APA 7th) (In text citation) A few key points (or findings) from the article Determinants of oral health Strategies to improve oral health Why are these points/findings important to health education/promotion?
