| Abstract |
This literature survey reviewed information on immigrant occupational health available from recent studies, incorporating varied study designs. Findings are discussed. It is concluded from the 48 articles analyzed that more reliable data, targeted appropriate interventions and enforcement of existing regulations are necessary to improve the health of immigrant workers. Furthermore, studies in originating countries should be encouraged to form a more complete understanding of a complex situation. |
