    "title": "Navigating Barriers to Healthcare: Exploring Health Disparities within Immigrants in Los Angeles and Strategies for Effective Intervention",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The current exploratory review examines the upstream factors influencing health disparities in the current healthcare landscape, particularly in the context of the immigrant population in Los Angeles. Specifically, the Latino/Hispanic immigrant population serves as a key case study, offering insights into immigrant experiences and contributing to a nuanced understanding of the broader immigrant population. Upon extensive research, the paper identifies three primary root factors: first, the underutilization of healthcare services due to anxieties related to immigrant status; second, a lack of substantial education and resources hindering accessible healthcare; and third, discriminatory practices in healthcare facilities targeted at immigrants. Characterizing such health disparity as a broader social inequality issue rather than mere isolated individual concerns, the paper asserts a need for effective interventions aimed at addressing the fundamental barriers to immigrant access to healthcare beyond immediate problem-solving. Drawing upon best practices from existing literature, it further proposes a potential intervention, incorporating strategies aimed to instigate positive social change within immigrants’ access to healthcare.",
