We conducted in-depth interviews in May to July 2012 to evaluate the effect of Alabama's 2011 omnibus immigration law on Latina immigrants and their US- and foreign-born children's access to and use of health services. The predominant effect of the law on access was a reduction in service availability. Affordability and acceptability of care were adversely affected because of economic insecurity and women's increased sense of discrimination. Nonpregnant women and foreign-born children experienced the greatest barriers, but pregnant women and mothers of US-born children also had concerns about accessing care. The implications of restricting access to health services and the potential impact this has on public health should be considered in local and national immigration reform discussions.
我们于 2012 年 5 月至 7 月进行了深入访谈,以评估阿拉巴马州 2011 年移民综合法案对拉丁裔移民及其在美国出生和在外国出生的子女获得和使用医疗服务的影响。该法律对获取途径的主要影响是减少了服务的可及性。由于经济不安全和妇女感到更多的歧视,医疗服务的可负担性和可接受性受到了不利影响。未怀孕的妇女和外国出生的儿童面临最大的障碍,但怀孕的妇女和美国出生的儿童的母亲也担心获得医疗服务。限制获得医疗服务的机会及其对公共卫生的潜在影响应在地方和国家移民改革讨论中加以考虑。
