abstract: 'The self-reported number of workdays missed due to injury or illness, or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sick days, is a reliable measure of health among working-aged adults.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although sick days is a relatively underexplored health-related outcome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in migration studies, it can provide a multidimensional understanding of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant wellbeing and integration. Current understandings of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association between migration status and sick days are limited for two
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reasons. First, in the United States, few nationally representative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
surveys collect migration status information. Second, researchers lack
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consensus on the most reliable approach for assigning migration status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine sick days and draw comparisons between two methods for assigning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migration status-a logical approach and a survey approach. The logical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
method assigns migration status to foreign-born respondents based on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics such as government employment or welfare receipt, while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the survey approach relies on self-reported survey responses. Sick days
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among immigrants was correlated with and predicted by other health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions available in the SIPP. Comparisons of sick days by migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status vary based on migration assignment approach. Lawful Permanent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Residents (LPRs) reported more sick days than non-LPRs and appear less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
healthy when migration status is assigned using the logical approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The logical approach also produced a gap in sick days between LPRs and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-LPRs that is not replicated in the survey approach. The results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
demonstrate that if migration status is not measured directly in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data, interpretation of migration status effects should proceed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cautiously.'
