Today, about one-quarter of the U.S. population consists of immigrants or the children of immigrants. Given the sizable representation of immigrants in the U.S. population, their health is a major influence on the health of the population as a whole. On average, immigrants are healthier than native-born Americans. Yet, immigrants also are subject to the systematic marginalization and discrimination that often lead to the creation of health disparities. To explore the link between immigration and health disparities, the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity held a workshop in Oakland, California, on November 28, 2017. This summary of that workshop highlights the presentations and discussions of the workshop"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from electronic title page (National Academies Press, viewed February 6, 2019) Subject Immigrants -- Health and hygiene -- United States -- Congresses Emigration and immigration -- Health aspects -- United States -- Congresses Immigrants.
