“…Previous studies have also found that deterioration of mental health was associated with increased duration in detention [ 16 – 18 ], level of perceived support from detention staff [ 19 ], and isolation from family [ 20 ]. Other existing ethnographic and theoretical literature has highlighted how adverse health outcomes in this context may represent a “syndemic,” or synergistic epidemic , where disease clusters may occur through biological interactions between diseases (e.g., mental health and physical health conditions) and social condition interactions (e.g., conditions of immigration detention) [ 21 , 22 ]. By evaluating a wide range of conditions of confinement to understand the health impact of cumulative or co-occurring conditions, we offer an empirical view of how immigration prisons can harm health.…”

“…The risk of acquiring PTB depends largely on a person's country of birth, with foreign-born individuals from high-burden countries being at highest [33]. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 10,000 people develop active TB each year [34]. About one-third of them are immigrants [35].…”

“…Con los grupos etarios que tuvieron IRA y no tuvieron relación con el material particulado y las condiciones meteorológicas, es posible que esto se deba a las aglomeraciones de la población, Santos et al (2019) mencionan que las altas concentraciones de PM10 se presentan en épocas típicas de celebraciones religiosas y culturales de la ciudad de Ocaña. Otras posibles causas son los comportamientos de migración e inmigración (Houston et al, 2020); según la Secretaria de Salud, desde Venezuela y sitios de Colombia arriban al hospital de Ocaña menores de edad y personas con alteraciones en la salud respiratoria; asimismo, mencionan que este tipo de población reside de forma transitoria en la zona norte con crisis alimentaria, económica y de vivienda; adicionalmente, teniendo en cuenta lo explicado por Molina et al (2021), el desplazamiento interno urbano incide en las IRA. De acuerdo con la Secretaria de Planeación de la ciudad de Ocaña, la zona norte es muy frecuentada por su elevado flujo comercial y de transporte.…”
