Featured Project: Ending Entanglement

Investigating how county immigration policies affect immigrant birth outcomes:

Since 2001, county and local-level policies increasingly restrict immigrant rights, limiting access to employment, legal protections, and mobility beyond informal work. These restrictions may have significant consequences for the health of immigrants, their families, and their communities.

In this project, we are assessing whether birth outcomes among immigrant mothers changed after restrictive county immigration policies were implemented between 2004 and 2014. 

The purpose of this study is to expand our understanding of the influence of county-level policymaking on the spatial patterning of health inequities among immigrant mothers over time.
