Survey: Mexican immigrants less likely to visit emergency rooms
Tagged: Mexico, population, Tijuana“Mexicans who recently arrive in the United States – many illegally – are far less likely to visit hospital emergency rooms than long-term Mexican immigrants or people born in the United States, a report said Thursday.
Researchers at Mexico’s National Population Council and the University of California found that only 9.8 percent of Mexican adult migrants living in the United States 10 years or less visited an emergency room in the past year. That’s less than half the rate among people born in the United States – 19.9 percent for people of Mexican ancestry born in the United States and 20 percent for U.S.-born whites.”
