Dermatologic Care and Skin Health of Migrant Populations in the US
This scoping review found that exposures before, during, and after migration and health care access are associated with the skin health of US migrant populations. Research opportunities include focusing on a broad spectrum of dermatologic diseases, countries of birth, occupations, and vulnerable populations, such as women and children, as well as implementing and evaluating policy that addresses structural barriers migrants face in accessing quality health care.
