In this concluding chapter, we outline key lessons for both public interventions and future research that emerge from the comprehensive exploration of immigrant health throughout this book. The discussion of lessons for public interventions underscores the importance of recognizing that immigrants are not a burden on the healthcare system. Furthermore, the need to safeguard rights without taking them for granted and the imperative of moving beyond universal access to health as a standalone solution are highlighted. When outlining lessons for future research, the chapter emphasizes the importance of adopting a context-sensitive approach. A call for a multidisciplinary perspective to be the future of immigrant health research is made, acknowledging the ongoing challenges associated with developing new theoretical frameworks. The underexploited life course perspective is identified as a crucial avenue for future exploration, accompanied by a resounding plea for more and better data to foster a better understanding of immigrant health.
