요약This dissertation investigates how interpersonal experiences of discrimination influence the health and healthcare behaviors of Asian and Latino immigrants living in California. This study is grounded in a structural determinant of health framework, drawing from Sewell's theory of structure and Bronfenbrenner's socioecological model. These theories inform the study's hypotheses and guide the operationalization of key variables. Specifically, this research addresses three central questions: (1) How do specific forms of discrimination, such as wage theft, dangerous workplace conditions, and law enforcement encounters relate to self-rated health, psychological distress, and healthcare access? (2) Do these relationships differ between Asian and Latino immigrants? (3) Does documentation status further shape these associations?To answer these questions, this dissertation draws on quantitative data from the Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) study, a cross-sectional population-based survey. Multivariable regression models were used to estimate the associations between discrete experiences of discrimination and four key outcomes: self-rated health, psychological distress, delayed medical care, and the number of doctor visits. Interaction terms were included to assess differences by race/ethnicity and documentation status.Findings reveal that while not all individual forms of discrimination are universally predictive of negative health outcomes, several experiences, particularly being asked to perform dangerous work, wage theft, and law enforcement surveillance were consistently associated with poorer health and delayed care. These effects were more pronounced among Latino immigrants, suggesting that racialized enforcement practices and labor exploitation contribute to health inequities between immigrant groups. Furthermore, law enforcement surveillance was uniquely associated with poorer self-rated health among undocumented immigrants, suggesting the psychological toll of structural exclusion. Certain forms of discrimination were linked to increased doctor visits, suggesting that mental health distress may drive fragmented or crisis-oriented healthcare-seeking behavior.This study contributes to public health and immigration scholarship by disaggregating the types of discrimination that impact health, incorporating intersectional analysis by race/ethnicity and documentation status, and framing these dynamics as public health issues rooted in broader social structural environments. It highlights the importance of healthcare systems that are trauma-informed and structurally competent, alongside inclusive policies for immigrants, to improve public health. Ultimately, the findings emphasize that achieving health equity for immigrants requires addressing the legal, economic, and enforcement structures that influence their everyday lives.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  investigates  how  interpersonal  experiences  of  discrimination  influence  the  health  and  healthcare  behaviors  of  Asian  and  Latino  immigrants  living  in  California.  This  study  is  grounded  in  a  structural  determinant  of  health  framework,  drawing  from  Sewell's  theory  of  structure  and  Bronfenbrenner's  socioecological  model.  These  theories  inform  the  study's  hypotheses  and  guide  the  operationalization  of  key  variables.  Specifically,  this  research  addresses  three  central  questions:  (1)  How  do  specific  forms  of  discrimination,  such  as  wage  theft,  dangerous  workplace  conditions,  and  law  enforcement  encounters  relate  to  self-rated  health,  psychological  distress,  and  healthcare  access?  (2)  Do  these  relationships  differ  between  Asian  and  Latino  immigrants?  (3)  Does  documentation  status  further  shape  these  associations?To  answer  these  questions,  this  dissertation  draws  on  quantitative  data  from  the  Research  on  Immigrant  Health  and  State  Policy  (RIGHTS)  study,  a  cross-sectional  population-based  survey.  Multivariable  regression  models  were  used  to  estimate  the  associations  between  discrete  experiences  of  discrimination  and  four  key  outcomes:  self-rated  health,  psychological  distress,  delayed  medical  care,  and  the  number  of  doctor  visits.  Interaction  terms  were  included  to  assess  differences  by  race/ethnicity  and  documentation  status.Findings  reveal  that  while  not  all  individual  forms  of  discrimination  are  universally  predictive  of  negative  health  outcomes,  several  experiences,  particularly  being  asked  to  perform  dangerous  work,  wage  theft,  and  law  enforcement  surveillance  were  consistently  associated  with  poorer  health  and  delayed  care.  These  effects  were  more  pronounced  among  Latino  immigrants,  suggesting  that  racialized  enforcement  practices  and  labor  exploitation  contribute  to  health  inequities  between  immigrant  groups.  Furthermore,  law  enforcement  surveillance  was  uniquely  associated  with  poorer  self-rated  health  among  undocumented  immigrants,  suggesting  the  psychological  toll  of  structural  exclusion.  Certain  forms  of  discrimination  were  linked  to  increased  doctor  visits,  suggesting  that  mental  health  distress  may  drive  fragmented  or  crisis-oriented  healthcare-seeking  behavior.This  study  contributes  to  public  health  and  immigration  scholarship  by  disaggregating  the  types  of  discrimination  that  impact  health,  incorporating  intersectional  analysis  by  race/ethnicity  and  documentation  status,  and  framing  these  dynamics  as  public  health  issues  rooted  in  broader  social  structural  environments.  It  highlights  the  importance  of  healthcare  systems  that  are  trauma-informed  and  structurally  competent,  alongside  inclusive  policies  for  immigrants,  to  improve  public  health.  Ultimately,  the  findings  emphasize  that  achieving  health  equity  for  immigrants  requires  addressing  the  legal,  economic,  and  enforcement  structures  that  influence  their  everyday  lives.
