| Immigrants and refugees frequently face special barriers to health care access for many reasons. These reasons include lack of health insurance, language difficulties, lack of a regular physican, low SES and, for some, legal status. This session examines correlates and effects of access limitations for diverse refugee and immigrant populations in the United States. The session focuses on health-care-seeking behaviors, access barriers, and resulting health outcomes for Mexican, Mexican immigrant, Vietnamese American, and limited English proficient populations in the United States. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: 1) identify barriers to health care access for refugees and immigrants in the United States; 2) describe health care utilization patterns of diverse refugee and immigrant sub-populations; 3) discuss the consequences of health care access limitations for health outcomes for refugees and immigrants. | |||
