Working Paper: Sources of Vulnerability: A Critical Review of the Literature on Racial/Ethnic Minorities, Immigrants, and Persons with Chronic Mental Illness (PDF) ; October 2002
Abstract:
This critical synthesis provides background
material for a special ERIU research initiative on
vulnerable populations. (For the papers that resulted
from that undertaking, see /events/papers_2004vpops.html)
It develops a conceptual framework to use when studying
the relationship between vulnerability and health insurance
coverage and summarizes existing research on the factors
influencing coverage outcomes for racial and ethnic
minorities, immigrants, and people with chronic mental
illness. Particular attention is placed on literature
that explores the dynamic relationship between labor
markets and coverage. The review includes a summary
of data sources that can be employed to study coverage
dynamics for these vulnerable populations. |
