Report: Social Determinants of Immigrants’ Health in New York City: A Study of Six Neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens

The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) released a new report today, which explores why immigrants are at greater risk of poor health outcomes than US-born residents and documents the obstacles immigrants face in staying healthy and accessing care. The report – Social Determinants of Immigrants’ Health in New York City: A Study of Six Neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens – analyzes several data sources, including survey responses from immigrants and New York City-based service providers.
