Why does immigrants’ health deteriorate over time? Numerous scholars across multiple disciplines have probed the question, and the term “healthy immigrant effect” was coined precisely to describe this paradoxical phenomenon. This study aims to examine, first, the existence of the healthy immigrant effect among marriage migrant women in Korea, and second, to evaluate the discrimination-health relationship as a potential explanation for the healthy immigrant effect. The 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families was used for the analyses, using the self-reported health status of women as a measure of health. The results indicate that the health status of marriage migrant women in Korea is lower among those who have stayed longer, and that experiences of discrimination partially mediate the relationship between the acculturation process and the health status of marriage migrant women.

Abstract This study investigates gender differences in housing, socioeconomic status, and self-reported health status. The analysis focuses on the social and economic dimensions of housing, such as demand, control, material aspects (affordability, type of dwelling) and meaningful aspects (pride in dwelling, home as a refuge) of everyday life in the domestic environment. A random sample, crosssectional telephone survey was administered in the city of Vancouver, Canada in June 1999 (n = 650). Survey items included measures of material and meaningful dimensions of housing, housing satisfaction, and standard measures of socioeconomic status and social support. The main outcome measure was self-reported health (excellent/very good/good vs. fair/poor). A three-stage analysis provides an overall picture of the sample characteristics for male and female respondents, detects significant relations between individual and housing characteristics and self-rated health status, and investigates male-female differences in the factors associated with fair/poor self-rated health. In multivariate analyses, a small number of socioeconomic dimensions of housing were associated with self-rated health status for women. For men, only one attribute of housing was associated with self-rated health: crowding was positively related to poor health, contradicting expectations and the findings for women. The self-reported strain of housework was unrelated to self-rated health for men, bot strongly related to poor health for women. For men and women, satisfaction with social activities increased the likelihood of reporting better health. Future research should focus on the health effects of geodered differences in domestic and paid work, and on home and family roles and the interaction among gender, household crowding, and health.

We investigated HMO members' use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers outside the HMO in 1995-1996. A random 2% survey of Kaiser Permanente Northwest members addressed HMO service satisfaction, self-reported health status and behaviors, and HMO utilization. Among respondents, 15.7% (n = 380) used CAM providers (chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, others) in the prior 12 months, while 35% were ever users. Multivariate analysis found that those more likely to consult CAM providers were females, more educated, and more dissatisfied with the HMO. These results suggest that HMOs may wish to focus efforts to improve patient satisfaction among CAM service users.
