Influence of U.S. immigration laws on Chinese immigration, United States, 1980 to 2002Luo, Hua 29 August 2005 (has links)
Historically, Chinese immigrants to the United States are a special group. They were
or almost were banned from 1882 to 1968. Since in 1968 the United States abolished
national origin quotas and eliminated national, race, or ancestry as a basis for
immigration, thousands of Chinese immigrants came to the United States. The total
population of Chinese immigrants to the US between 1980 and 2002 was 911,220,
whereas it was 136,843 between 1891 and 1979. Not only did the population of Chinese
immigrants have great change, the quality of Chinese immigrants also had substantial
difference from those immigrated in the last century. However, there are very limited
literatures focusing on the dynamics of Chinese immigration in these twenty years, which
is the most important time period for Chinese immigration.
The following study tries to describe the dynamics of Chinese immigration to the
United States between 1980 and 2002; and analyze the influence of the American
immigration laws on Chinese immigration. The dynamics of Chinese immigrants are
described and analyzed by different migration categories. Other social and economic
factors are added to comprehensively understand the change of Chinese immigration.

Latino Youth with Diabetes: A Mixed Methods Examination of Adherence and Metabolic Control within the Context of Sociopolitical and Policy ChallengesRosales, Alvina 12 August 2014 (has links)
The current study employed quantitative and qualitative methods to examine predictors of adherence and diabetes health outcomes in Latino youth, and to gain understanding of mechanisms that underlie health behaviors and outcomes. Forty-nine Latino youth and their caregivers were recruited at a hospital-based outpatient diabetes clinic, 76% of the youth were either first or second-generation Latino youth (i.e., immigrant youth or youth whose parents are immigrants). A primary aim of this study was to quantitatively examine the impact of parent immigrant-related stress on child health behaviors and outcomes. This study complements these quantitative analyses by qualitatively exploring how (e.g., under what conditions) pathways to health are created. Specifically, qualitative analyses examined the unique experiences of Latino immigrant families in managing adherence to treatment and metabolic control, and gain insight into specific health promoters and barriers. Further, the author intended to qualitatively explain the effects of recently enacted immigration laws on Latino youths’ health behaviors and outcomes. Results revealed that higher levels of fear of deportation predict lower child-reported adherence, β = -41, p < .05. Higher levels of caregiver immigrant stress predict higher BMI rates in children, β = .30, p < .05. Immigrant related stressors, including fear of deportation, did not predict A1c or diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) hospitalizations in the last year. Qualitative results highlight themes related to direct and indirect barriers to health behaviors and outcomes for youth, as well as ethnocultural promoters of coping and resilience.
