Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

For example, in a study involving 37,076 individuals from 20 European countries, first-generation migrants exhibited higher levels of depression, with rates significantly elevated for those born outside Europe [24]. Research on refugees resettled in high-income countries indicates that they experience increased rates of anxiety and depression compared to the general population [25].

Fostering Patient-Clinician Communication to Promote Rapid HIV, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus Diagnostic Testing: Conceptual Development of a Multilingual App

Fostering Patient-Clinician Communication to Promote Rapid HIV, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus Diagnostic Testing: Conceptual Development of a Multilingual App

Migrants are disproportionately affected by HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). A meta-analysis comparing migrants with native-born populations found that migrants have a high HIV prevalence ratio [1]. A recent French study found that among migrants living with HIV, HBV, or HCV, 56%, 71%, and 89% were respectively diagnosed in France [2], whereas another study reported that 57% of migrants who are HIV positive acquired the virus while in the country [3].

Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Digital Health Literacy in Forced Migrant Populations: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Digital Health Literacy in Forced Migrant Populations: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review

In 2021, there were approximately 1 billion migrants worldwide, accounting for 1 in 7 people in the world [3,4]. Of this population, 82.4 million are forced migrants [3]. An estimated 48 million are internally displaced, 26.4 million are refugees, and 4.1 million are asylum seekers [3]. On host lands or countries, migrants often live with minimal public services and face many complex problems [5].

Effectiveness of a Community Empowerment Intervention to Improve Access to Pre-exposure Prophylaxis in Migrant Women Sex Workers: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Implementation Study

Indeed, the highest incidence of HIV infection has been currently reported in migrants in France [2]. Moreover, when living with HIV, migrants also tend to be diagnosed later than nonmigrants [3,4]. In this context, a recent French study has shown that a majority of migrants (58%) contracted HIV within 6 years after arrival [5], confirming previous results showing that migrants living with HIV in Europe frequently contracted the virus post migration [6-8].

Understanding Why Many People Experiencing Homelessness Reported Migrating to a Small Canadian City: Machine Learning Approach With Augmented Data

Understanding Why Many People Experiencing Homelessness Reported Migrating to a Small Canadian City: Machine Learning Approach With Augmented Data

Consequently, this study presents the use of machine learning to help understand why a high proportion of people experiencing homelessness in a small Canadian city are migrants from outside of the city or province. To achieve this broader aim, we developed the following 3 research questions (RQs): RQ1: What factors predict whether an individual stays or leaves shelters in Thunder Bay? RQ2: If an individual stays, how long are they likely to stay? RQ3: What factors predict stay duration?

COVID-19 Vaccination Preferences Among Non-Chinese Migrants in Hong Kong: Discrete Choice Experiment

COVID-19 Vaccination Preferences Among Non-Chinese Migrants in Hong Kong: Discrete Choice Experiment

However, little is known about the migrants’ preference related to COVID-19 vaccines [6]; this undermines health equity, since as vulnerable populations, migrants are at a higher risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality compared to the general population [7]. Previous studies have mainly focused on individual-level factors. They have reported that migrants’ socioeconomic conditions and gender have an impact on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance [3,8,9].

Evaluating Clinician Expectations of mHealth Solutions to Increase Rapid-Screening for HIV and Hepatitis in Migrant Populations in France: Qualitative Study

Evaluating Clinician Expectations of mHealth Solutions to Increase Rapid-Screening for HIV and Hepatitis in Migrant Populations in France: Qualitative Study

A French survey from blood donors estimated the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to be 53.1% (250/471) among migrants from endemic regions while attributing nosocomial exposure as the leading factor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) [2]. Furthermore, many HIV-positive migrants in Europe acquire their infections after migration [3].

Digital Information Technology Use, Self-Rated Health, and Depression: Population-Based Analysis of a Survey Study on Older Migrants

In particular, the number and proportion of older migrants are increasing rapidly in many countries. Despite of this, older migrants have typically been overlooked in studies investigating health and DIT use. Moreover, there are only limited studies on DIT use in ethnic minority older populations other than African Americans and Hispanics in the United States [6,12].
