Abstract

The integration of immigrant health is a complex process with significant implications for both immigrants and host communities, yet the policies guiding such integration display considerable variation across nations and remain substantially underexplored. This study aims to examine the patterns of health integration policies across countries, identify their distinct characteristics, and investigate the drivers shaping these policies at a global scale.
