Within the world of child health research, language remains a significant barrier to equitable research recruitment and inclusion. However, education for pediatric, child psychology, nursing or maternal-child health research…August 2023Communication
- The Health Equity & Access under the Law (HEAL) for Immigrant Families Act of 2023 removes political interference and restores coverage so immigrants in the United States (U.S.) can participate in the health insurance programs for which they would be eligible but for their immigration status or length of stay.

- In a finding that challenges the notion that immigrants are freeloaders in the American health care system, a new study shows they are paying a lot more through health care premiums and related taxes than they actually use in care. In fact, the amount that immigrants pay in makes up for some of the amount of health care that non-immigrants use in excess of what they pay. “Some politicians and…November 2022Services & Programs

- Immigration has been historically and contemporarily racialized in the United States. Although each immigrant group has unique histories, current patterns, and specific experiences, racialized immigrant groups such as Latino, Asian, and Arab immigrants all experience health inequities that are not solely due to nativity or years of residence but also influenced by conditional citizenship and…June 2021Health Reform, Racism
- One in five Americans lives in a rural area, including about 18 million women of reproductive age, but key indicators, including mortality figures, show that the health of mothers and children in these communities lags behind that of their urban peers and is worsening. Nationwide, child mortality rates have declined over the past decade, but recent research shows that improvement among infants…February 2020Maternal/Child Health

Trump reportedly expressed his desire for the US to instead…January 2018Racism
