Im/migrants in the United States are at heightened risk for a host of adverse behavioral, mental, and physical health disparities, which increase their vulnerability to disease and death. Our review of the literature shows how their health disparities are linked to structural factors that can limit their access to political, legal, and economic resources and manifest at different levels of social influence. However, scholars studying structural violence also show how im/migrants simultaneously are subject to and subvert structural violence. Efforts to address health inequities and learning how to dismantle structural violence must center im/migrant experiences and voices.

美国的移民/移民面临一系列不利的行为、心理和身体健康差异的风险，这增加了他们对疾病和死亡的脆弱性。我们对文献的回顾表明，他们的健康差异如何与结构性因素相关联，这些结构性因素会限制他们获得政治、法律和经济资源，并体现在不同程度的社会影响力上。然而，研究结构性暴力的学者也展示了移民如何同时遭受和颠覆结构性暴力。解决健康不平等和学习如何消除结构性暴力的努力必须以移民的经验和声音为中心。
