SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The following dissertation addresses the forces impacting the lives of refugees in American society. Employing a mixed-methods approach, I examine health behaviors, social supports, and identities as they influence health outcomes, opportunities, and perceptions. In the first chapter, I test the immigrant health paradox through comparing the rates of low birth weight among non-refugee, refugee, and native-born Black women in the six largest cities in Ohio. Findings suggest that refugees may have unique influences that enable them to have better than expected health outcomes than other foreign-born populations and their native-born counterparts. The next two chapters rely upon 25 in-depth interviews I conducted with Somali refugee women in Central Ohio. The second chapter assesses how informal and formal social supports enhance opportunities for the refugee women. The final chapter analyzes how Muslim and Somali identities and immigrant status influence perceptions and decision making in regards to health among refugee women. Taken together, this dissertation illuminates the unique conditions that refugees experience that impact their lives. Implications include understanding existing health patterns, the role of social supports, and the importance of individual identifies when designing the best policies to address the needs of refugees as they adjust to their new realities.
