Salmon bias is health-related return migration
The mortality slope for foreign-born Hispanics is steeper than other foreign-born Mexicans, consistent with patterns of selective return migration
Higher mortality rates are found in foreign-born Hispanics who migrate back to their country of origin, than the one who remain in the United States.
Potential Mechanisms of Return Migration
Employment Incentives: Chronic conditions or work-related injuries, can limit your ability to work. When migrants are experiencing unemployment due to their health or just aren't able to find a job, the money incentives for staying in the U.S. is likely to decrease.
Family Reunification: People want to be with their families when they are sick. Their family could maybe help take care of them as well
Medical Returns: Mexican immigrants in the U.S are less likely to visit a doctor than
Mexicans born in the U.S. or whites. Undocumented people face huge barriers to accessing medical care due to language barriers, cost of care, and lack of insurance.
People who were deported or voluntarily migrated back to their country of origin reported better health than Mexican-born persons who stayed in the U.S. People who stayed reported higher rates of health care usage and more chronic conditions
Deported migrants exhibit lower levels of mental health and well-being
Migrants who leave the U.S. after reporting being in bad health are less likely to come back than the healthier migrants .
Social determinants of health are the conditions of which we are born, work, play, learn, live, grow, age, and the systems that shape our daily lives

Strategies to influence health policies
Community mobilization: a process of reaching other areas of a population or community and building alliances to manage a important public health issue
Community based participatory research: research approach that involves community members, researchers, and organizational representatives in all aspect of the process.
Health advocacy: taking public positions in order to spread awareness and to provide or support recommendations to better the health of a population.
Health is political
This is because under the hellscape capitalism that the U.S. is ran under minority groups such a Latinx have fewer resources and finances (a safe neighborhood to live in, health available foods, and a decent paying job). These are called social determinate of health. The lower resources are due to systematic racism in our policies and only political interventions can fix these issues.
Power is needed to shape social, economic, and political systems. This can change the environment in which a person can practice healthy behaviors. Of course do to Latinx being a minority group they are oppressed and therefore have little power and are stuck with the short straw.
