More than culture: Structural racism, intersectionality theory, and immigrant health

► Cultural explanations for immigrant health outcomes obscure the impact of structural factors on immigrant health. ► A stronger emphasis on how place, racialization processes, and immigration policies impact immigrant health is necessary. ► We recommend an intersectional approach to the study of immigrant health. ► We suggest specific lines of inquiry regarding immigrants' experiences with racism and anti-immigrant policies, and their health impact. ► Interpreting available immigration-related measures requires fuller theorizing as to their context-specific meaning.
