immigrant health as a field in its own right and a growing consensus
that immigrants have unique health needs that require further study....
The scope of inquiry ranges from attention to...basic...questions, such
as who is an immigrant, to an analysis of the health issues confronting
specific immigrant subgroups, an examination of specific diseases that
have impacted immigrant populations, and an exploration of health
promotion and disease prevention strategies and public health policies
that have and will continue to impact immigrant
populations...."
