Sexual, reproductive, and maternal health (SRMH) care in the US is highly politicized, with restrictions that impede immigrant women's health. This review describes SRMH outcomes among immigrant women accessing publicly-funded services. We examined articles published from December 2007 to August 2020 in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases, following PRISMA guidelines. Included articles (n = 9) consisted of predominantly Latina immigrant samples. The majority included a subsample of women classified as vulnerable due to low income, low educational attainment, and/or documentation status. Our search strategy included a range of SRMH outcomes; however, the majority of articles focused on prenatal care (PNC). Over half of the articles revealed that underserved immigrant women with access to Medicaid/CHIP during expansion had higher rates of PNC adequacy compared to those without access. There is a need for more research on the impact of publicly-funded services other than Medicaid on outcomes beyond PNC.
美国的性健康、生殖健康和母婴健康护理（SRMH）具有高度政治性，其限制措施阻碍了移民妇女的健康。本综述描述了利用公共资金服务的移民妇女的 SRMH 结果。我们按照 PRISMA 指南，查阅了 2007 年 12 月至 2020 年 8 月间在 PubMed、PsycINFO 和 Web of Science 数据库中发表的文章。纳入的文章（n=9）主要是拉丁裔移民样本。其中大多数包括由于低收入、低教育程度和/或身份文件而被归类为弱势群体的女性亚组。我们的检索策略包括一系列 SRMH 结果；然而，大多数文章都集中在产前护理（PNC）上。超过一半的文章表明，在扩大医疗补助/儿童健康保险计划（CHIP）覆盖范围期间，有机会获得医疗补助/CHIP 的服务不足的移民妇女的 PNC 充分性比率高于没有机会的移民妇女。需要更多的研究来评估除了医疗补助之外的公共资金服务对 PNC 以外的结果的影响。
