Missed pediatric visits rose after Chicago immigration crackdown
Original: Missed pediatric visits rose after Chicago immigration crackdown, especially among Spanish-speaking families
Missed pediatric appointments in Chicago increased following an immigration crackdown, with the rise especially pronounced among Spanish-speaking families. The findings suggest fear of enforcement is deterring families from seeking routine medical care for children, raising concerns among pediatricians about longer-term health consequences for immigrant communities.
Why now: The immigration crackdown is making families afraid to access healthcare, and the new data quantifies that impact.
