摘要

Despite growing research on COVID-19’s disproportionate effects, undocumented immigrants—especially Latinx communities—remain underrepresented. This study acknowledges structural harms while highlighting resilience and resourcefulness. Using community-based participatory research (CBPR), the authors partnered with Plaza del Sol Family Health Clinic to collect qualitative data through flu outreach and COVID-19 impact interviews. Participants shared narratives at the intersection of health, work, and education. The clinic co-led all phases of the study. Findings show widespread exclusion from relief such as unemployment benefits, food and income assistance, job instability, and paid leave. Key themes that emerged from interviews included the role of community clinics, labor inequities, and women’s educational decisions. These narratives reveal dual burdens of exclusion and resilience, underscoring the need for inclusive public health policies and more equitable healthcare frameworks.
