The study aims to explore the encounters of young people with migration experience with SRH services and their understandings of factors that affect their use of these services. The findings of this study were drawn from 18 interviews conducted between October 2021 and May 2023 in Southern Sweden. A combination of convenient and snowball sampling strategies was used. Participants included in the study self-identified as Middle Eastern, migrated to Sweden, and were aged between 17 and 26. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis approach.</div><div>Three themes were generated during the analysis. The first <em>SRH services: dual perceptions and experiences</em> shows how participants had ambivalent perceptions of SRH services, mainly the youth clinic. Some perceived the youth clinic as a stigmatized place associated with shame and SRH concerns like unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, while others viewed the youth clinic as a safe space. The negative perceptions along with the difficulties with accessing the youth clinic contributed to low service use. The second <em>Sexuality education: an eye-opener or a joke?</em> reflects participants’ both positive and negative experiences and attitudes when receiving sexuality education in schools. The third <em>SRH information: beyond formal services and education</em> captures participants’ ways of accessing SRH information that go beyond information provided at the traditional SRH services and sexuality education in schools. These sources include the family, friends, and the internet. The study points to the need for multicomponent strategies to improve the accessibility of SRH services and draws attention to the importance of challenging norms related to Swedishness in sexuality education to foster the engagement of youth with migration experience and ensure their sexual citizenship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Migration and Health","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100270"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This multi-method study aimed to understand experiences of, and contextual factors associated with, alcohol use during the pandemic among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional survey (<em>n</em> = 335), in-depth individual interviews (IDI) (<em>n</em> = 24), and focus groups (<em>n</em> = 4) with urban refugee youth in Kampala. We also conducted key informant interviews (<em>n</em> = 15) with a range of stakeholders in Kampala. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analyses with survey data to examine socio-demographic and ecosocial (structural, community, interpersonal) factors associated with ever using alcohol and alcohol misuse. We applied thematic analyses across qualitative data to explore lived experiences, and perceived impacts, of alcohol use. Among survey participants (<em>n</em> = 335, mean age= 20.8, standard deviation: 3.01), half of men and one-fifth of women reported ever using alcohol. Among those reporting any alcohol use, half (<em>n</em> = 66, 51.2 %) can be classified as alcohol misuse. In multivariable analyses, older age, gender (men vs. women), higher education, and perceived increased pandemic community violence against women and children were associated with significantly higher likelihood of ever using alcohol. In multivariable analyses, very low food security, relationship status, transactional sex, and lower social support were associated with increased likelihood of alcohol misuse. Qualitative findings revealed: (1) alcohol use as a coping mechanism for stressors (e.g., financial insecurity, refugee-related stigma); and (2) perceived impacts of alcohol use on refugee youth health (e.g., physical, mental). Together findings provide insight into multi-level contexts that shape vulnerability to alcohol mis/use among urban refugee youth in Kampala and signal the need for gender-tailored strategies to reduce socio-environmental stressors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Migration and Health","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666623524000059/pdfft?md5=9c08b838ba111097b73d3f41f2c06f4d&pid=1-s2.0-S2666623524000059-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139726781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
