This study investigates the impacts of rural-to-urban migration on the health of young adult migrants. A key methodological challenge involves the potentially confounding effects of selection on the relationship between migration and health. This study differentiates selection and migration effects by employing a longitudinal approach. It examines the association between a priori health status and subsequent migration and compares changes in health status from pre- to post-migration with health changes over the same timeframe for individuals who remain at origin.

520 $a This study investigates the impacts of rural-to-urban migration on the health of young adult migrants. A key methodological challenge involves the potentially confounding effects of selection on the relationship between migration and health. This study differentiates selection and migration effects by employing a longitudinal approach. It examines the association between a priori health status and subsequent migration and compares changes in health status from pre- to post-migration with health changes over the same timeframe for individuals who remain at origin.
520 $a Data were collected in 2005 and 2007 for a cohort of young adults residing in 80 rural villages in Kanchanaburi province, Western Thailand. The migrant sample includes individuals who were interviewed in rural Kanchanaburi in 2005, moved to urban destinations by 2007, and were re-interviewed at destination. The rural comparison group comprises respondents who stayed in rural Kanchanaburi from 2005 to 2007. In 2007, a sample of longer-term urban residents was selected in communities where the migrants had settled. Return migrants include individuals who were interviewed in rural Kanchanaburi in both years, but moved to an urban area and returned in the meantime.
520 $a Physical and mental health status were assessed using the SF-36 health survey. Logistic regression models test associations between a priori physical and mental health status and subsequent rural-to-urban migration. Fixed effects regressions estimate the effects of rural-to-urban migration on physical and mental health. Finally, post-migration health status is compared with the health of longer-term urban residents. Supplementary analyses compare changes in health status for those who stayed at destination and migrants who returned to origin to determine if health status might influence return migration.
520 $a Findings support the "healthy migrant hypothesis" in that migrants are physically healthier than their rural and urban counterparts. However, the results did not show that rural-to-urban migration affects physical health status. Migrants experienced a significantly greater improvement in mental health status than the rural comparison group, and the fixed effects results indicate that rural-to-urban migration does indeed positively affect mental health status. Return migrants do not fare as well as those who stayed at destination on both physical and mental health status. This provides evidence of possible salmon bias, or a "Midnight Train" effect, as it is characterized in this dissertation.
