Abstract
Though COVID-19 has had sweeping implications, many immigrant groups in the United States have been disproportionately affected. The purpose of the present study is to explore the impact of COVID-19 on immigrant communities and how local immigrant-serving organizations (ISOs) have responded during the pandemic. The authors conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with executive directors and program coordinators of 31 ISOs and health clinics in Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Findings highlight the needs of immigrants and refugees during the pandemic, including economic burden, lack of information, and limited access to testing and treatment for COVID-19. The authors find that ISOs have responded to these needs by providing basic supports, partnering with other local organizations to channel needed resources to immigrant communities, and collaborating with state-level entities to improve outreach, testing, and treatment. The authors also identify mechanisms that enabled the organizations to make nimble accommodations during the pandemic as well as the burden and compromises that these organizations have experienced. The authors argue that ISOs represent an important aspect of safety nets available for immigrants and provide insights into how other organizations can prepare for public health crises like COVID-19 in the future.

International migration has emerged as one of the most controversial phenomena of the 21st century. The complexity and implications of global migrations require that social work practitioners and researchers have access to data-informed research and critical analyses. However, the content of recent social work research on international migration has not been adequately examined to assess whether and to what extent this substantive area is being addressed. This article explores how social work research published in five leading social work journals—Health & Social Work, Research on Social Work Practice, Social Service Review, Social Work, and Social Work Research—is advancing our understanding of international migration and where it may be lacking. Focusing on articles published between 2007 and 2016, the authors analyzed content addressing immigrants and refugees. The content analysis indicates that social work research is making a strong contribution in the area of mental health but is not adequately addressing critical dimensions of stratification, including race, ethnicity, and legal status. Authors also find ambiguity in how "immigrant" is defined and in the generation(s) addressed. Authors argue that maximizing social work's contributions requires offering more nuanced definitions of the immigrant populations addressed and paying greater analytical attention to dimensions of inequality.
