Immigrant health in Alberta

Description

Immigrants in Alberta are in many respects healthier than non-immigrants. Compared to non-immigrants, they have lower mortality, lower rates for many diseases, and show signs of better health behaviors. There are, however, health conditions for which immigrants are worse off than non-immigrants. In addition, immigrant’s health status can vary significantly depending on the part of the world from which they arrive. The purpose of this report is to provide a snapshot of the health status, and a detailed look at health issues associated with immigrants to Alberta between 1994 and 2008. The results will drive further analysis and provide a basis for sound evidence to direct public health policies for improving the health of immigrants in Alberta.
