Session Description: This session is part of the Health Equity Lunch & Learn Series. This talk will focus on the impact of immigration- and enforcement-related policies and laws, including under the past and current Trump administrations, on the health and well-being of communities with a particular focus on Latinx residents in Connecticut. While the talk will center on findings from research on the 2016 US presidential election and implications for Latinx mental health, we will also explore the impact of the current climate and related actions, including anti-immigrant policies/laws and associated heightened immigration enforcement practices, on health and well-being of communities. We will discuss challenges with advancing health equity in restrictive and punitive sociopolitical climates and explore opportunities for promoting health equity in such climates.
