We included refugees ≥ 18 years who underwent domestic medical exams (DME) at three sites between January 2012-September 2022. Data was obtained from electronic health records. We identified refugees with diagnosed diabetes at DME using ICD-9/10 diagnosis codes. Refugees were classified as having undiagnosed diabetes if they had a diabetes diagnosis code or hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% within 3 months of DME. Among refugees without diagnosed diabetes at DME, we used modified American Diabetes Association Standards of Care 2022 criteria to classify them as \"screening-eligible.\" We considered refugees as receiving diabetes screening if they had a hemoglobin A1c or fasting glucose result. Demographic data included patient age, sex, race, ethnicity, and country of origin. We provide prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes and evaluate diabetes screening among newly arrived refugees. We included 4,521 refugees, 127 (2.8%) had diagnosed diabetes at DME, and 244 (5.4%) were diagnosed with diabetes within 3 months. Of those without known diabetes at DME (n = 4,384), 63.3% (n = 2,863) were screening-eligible and of those, 25.4% (n = 726) had screening within 3 months. While the prevalence of overall diabetes among newly arriving refugees was lower than the general U.S. population (8.2% vs. 11.6%), this may be an underestimate as only one-fourth of screening-eligible patients were screened. Adding routine diabetes screening recommendations to DME guidance may decrease the time for diabetes diagnosis for refugee patients.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144317101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This serious game sought to provide an interactive experience that mirrored the real-life obstacles faced by immigrants, fostering empathy among non-immigrant players in these scenarios, with the goal of improving attitudes toward immigrants. During the development phase of the game, a user-centered design approach was employed. The project was divided into several phases: understanding the context, comprehending user needs, iterative prototyping, and usability testing. Both immigrants and non-immigrants participated in the study, directly contributing to defining requirements and evaluating the game. The serious game \"Typical Day,\" designed to simulate everyday situations faced by immigrants through interactive scenarios and critical decisions, demonstrated positive acceptance in terms of usability and engagement. The results indicated that \"Typical Day\" provided an engaging and educational gaming experience, successfully balancing entertainment and information. Positive feedback from 45 non-immigrant participants highlighted its potential as an educational tool to raise awareness about the experiences of immigrants. However, further studies are needed to evaluate its long-term impact on attitudes and behaviors. In conclusion, this study contributes to the literature by addressing a gap in gamified approaches to immigrant challenges, laying the foundation for future developments in serious games aimed at promoting attitude change.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144248255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the importance of professional interpreters' expertise and perspectives in teaching physicians, our team of pediatric residents, attending physicians, and professional interpreters co-developed an interdisciplinary educational video module to teach best practices. Residents and fellows at a large academic medical center completed the module in June 2022. Participants' knowledge and self-reported behaviors were assessed three times: before the module (pre-test), immediately after the module (immediate post-test), and 6 months after the module (delayed post-test). Our analysis included 96 out of 333 respondents (29%) who completed all three tests. Mean pre-test to delayed post-test scores increased. The single best practice behavior reported more often by trainees at the time of the delayed post-test was interpreter maintenance of confidentiality. A video module improved trainee knowledge on working with interpreters, though more research is needed on how to improve best-practice behaviors.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"458-464"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accountability at these facilities is predominately limited to annual inspections to determine compliance with specific detention standards and responses to formal grievances and/or complaints. The grievance process is particularly important as it provides an opportunity for individuals directly impacted to document and formalize negative experiences. To gain a better understanding of the conditions and violations faced by individuals detained, we performed a thematic analysis of formal complaints submitted by or on behalf of individuals detained at Stewart Detention Center (SDC) to the Office of Inspector General within the Department of Homeland Security between 2019 - 2021. Major themes included concerns about substandard medical care, human rights violations, and operational failures. Concerns about medical care were related to inappropriate management of acute and chronic medical conditions, lack of durable medical accommodations, and inadequate medication management. This study supports growing evidence of medical mismanagement at U.S. ICE detention facilities, specifically at SDC, and is one of the first contributions to the medical literature evaluating complaints submitted directly by affected individuals. Our findings provide ongoing evidence that SDC is unable to meet quality medical care standards, which supports ongoing advocacy efforts for improved transparency and accountability at U.S. ICE detention facilities.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"409-423"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is the first to examine the presence of Border Patrol agents in healthcare settings and its possible impact on the willingness of undocumented individuals to access healthcare. We conducted interviews with 57 emergency medical services (EMS) personnel working in one county in South Texas. Interviews were held between November 2023- January 2024. Interview transcripts were coded using NVivo 14 and thematic analysis was performed on the transcript data. There is a regular, highly visible Border Patrol presence in healthcare settings in the community of study. In many cases, participants stated that they saw Border Patrol agents every time they brought a patient to the hospital. Hospitals are listed as sensitive locations for immigration enforcement, but policies that require agents to accompany detained border crossers result in a near constant presence of Border Patrol agents in hospitals. The regular, visible presence of Border Patrol agents at hospitals in the study community may deter community residents without legal status from seeking healthcare.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"424-430"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12037678/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143557064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less is known about parents' support for child PA and SB in underserved populations.

This cross-sectional study used baseline data from 68 parent-child dyads who participated in a two-group randomized controlled trial. TPA and SB were measured for seven consecutive days using GeneActiv wrist-worn accelerometers. Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the parent-child TPA and SB associations [betas (ß) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs)]. We examined child sex (girl versus boy), child age (6-10 versus 11-12 years), and day of week (weekday versus weekend) as moderators of these associations. In covariate-adjusted models, there were no statistically significant associations between parent-child TPA (ß = - 0.04, 95%CI = - 0.20, 0.13) or SB (ß = 0.05, 95%CI = - 0.13, 0.22), and child sex and child age did not modify these associations (Pinteraction > 0.05).
