Few studies integrate work and immigration as intersecting social determinants of health. We synthesize data from 12 focus groups ( = 97) originating from two separate community-engaged studies that originally centered on exploring barriers to health and hazards of work among immigrant Latinx women and men to explore the role of work in their overall health and well-being. The three major interrelated themes we drew from this research-hazards of work, value of work, and building agency to overcome risk-provide insights that can help to reframe and begin to operationalize how community-based health promotion practice might better incorporate workplace issues for Latinx low-wage workers. The value of work, and its subtheme, pride in performing well specifically, could be engaged by workers to actively change conditions for themselves and others. We discuss findings in light of previous occupational health research and implications for community-based intervention design and practice.
很少有研究将工作和移民作为相互交织的健康社会决定因素进行整合。我们综合了来自12个焦点小组（n = 97）的数据，这些数据源自两项独立的社区参与研究，最初聚焦于探究拉丁裔移民女性和男性的健康障碍及工作危害，以探讨工作在他们整体健康和福祉中的作用。我们从这项研究中得出的三个主要相互关联的主题——工作危害、工作价值以及建立克服风险的能力——提供了一些见解，有助于重新构建并开始实施基于社区的健康促进实践，使其能更好地将工作场所问题纳入针对拉丁裔低薪工人的工作中。工作价值及其子主题，特别是在出色表现中产生的自豪感，可以促使工人们积极改变自身及他人的状况。我们根据先前的职业健康研究来讨论研究结果，以及对基于社区的干预设计和实践的启示。
