Employment Exclusions and Health Care Access among Latine and Asian Immigrants in the Context of Racialization.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundImmigrants' employment is linked with health care access in the US, but we lack a thorough understanding of how immigrants' experiences of employment exclusions influence their health care access in the context of immigrant racialization. We aimed to assess employment exclusions (i.e., exclusions from jobs and violations at work) across Asian and Latine foreign-born adults, the two largest immigrant racial groups, and their associations with health care access. We also sought to understand variations by race, and current or past legal status.
methodsWe used 2018-2020 Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy survey data from 2,010 Latine and Asian foreign-born adults in California. We measured seven indicators of employment exclusions and used weighted logistic regression to estimate associations between employment exclusions and health care access: usual source of care and delaying care in the past 12 months. We tested race, current legal status and past legal status as moderators.
resultsNearly one-quarter (23.8%) of respondents reported ≥1 employment exclusion. Latine racial identity, current status as a non-citizen without permanent residency, and being previously undocumented was associated with greater employment exclusions. Employment exclusions were associated with 1.47 times (95% CI: 1.27, 1.69) greater odds of delaying care. Previous undocumented status, but not race or current legal status, moderated associations between violations at work and delay in care.
conclusionsLatine immigrants face a greater number of barriers to employment opportunities and protections of worker rights compared to Asians, while employment exclusions and past legal status drives poorer health care utilization.
