The current study explored the inclusion of migrants in Ecuador's school system as a fundamental tenet of protecting their health and well-being. We conducted a thematic analysis of 13 policy documents, 12 national laws and international agreements, and 31 key informant interviews, applying a human rights lens. We find that, although the 2008 Ecuadorian Constitution and migration laws protect the right of migrants to health and education, key informants argue that these laws are poorly implemented. Furthermore, they agree that the health sector generally does not consider education as a relevant setting for health. In contrast, the public education sector and non-profit organizations at the national and local levels appear to recognize the importance of coordination across the health and education sectors, including school-based initiatives for migrant inclusion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Migration and Health","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100247"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666623524000369/pdfft?md5=e640f88d2cb51507b9f7a1a8656e6de6&pid=1-s2.0-S2666623524000369-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842075","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}

Yet, comprehensive data on the health outcomes of pregnant FM in destination countries remain scarce. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancy in this specific migrant population on a national scale in the Netherlands and to explore differences from other populations.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>The Dutch perinatal registry was linked to national migration data to analyze pregnancy outcomes in FM (2014–2019), using non-migrants (NM) and resident migrants (RM) as reference populations. We reported outcome rates (% [95 % CI]) for a range of primary and secondary pregnancy outcomes. Primary outcomes included perinatal mortality, small for gestational age infants (SGA), preterm birth, and emergency cesarean section (CS), for which we also calculated the crude relative risk (RR [95 % CI]) of FM compared to NM and RM. In addition, we conducted binary logistic regression analyses on primary outcomes to report adjusted odds ratios (aORs [95 % CIs]) while controlling for multiple births, maternal age and parity.</p></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><p>Compared to the NM group, the FM group had increased risks of perinatal mortality (RR 1.50 [95 % CI 1.20–1.88]), SGA (1.65 [1.59–1.71], and emergency CS (1.19 [1.13–1.25]). Compared to RM, FM still had elevated risks of SGA (1.17 [1.13–1.22]). In contrast, the risk of preterm birth was lower in FM than in NM (0.81 [0.76–0.86]) and RM (0.83 [0.77–0.88]). These differences were confirmed in the adjusted analysis. Differences in secondary outcomes included higher rates of late antenatal care in FM (29.4 % [28.5–30.3]) than in NM (6.7 % [6.6–6.9]) and RM (15.5 % [15.1–15.9]). Rates of planned CS were similarly elevated (14.3 % [95 % CI 13.7–14.8] versus 7.·8 % [7.7–7.8] and 9.6 % [9.5–9.7]), while FM had lower rates of postpartum hemorrhage (3.9 % [3.6–4.2]) versus 6.8 % [6.8–6.9] and 5.7 % [5.6–5.9]).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This first Dutch registry-based study demonstrated increased risks of multiple, though not all, adverse pregnancy outcomes in forced migrants.

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}
