Understanding the currently unidentified, unique challenges of this group upon resettlement in the United States is crucial for bettering health outcomes. This needs assessment identifies the challenges surrounding health experiences of resettled Afghan refugees in Houston, Texas.MethodsAdult Afghan refugees resettled in Houston, Texas were surveyed via a needs assessment adapted from validated health screeners (PRAPARE, the RHS15, and CoPaQ) with translator assistance. Health experiences across demographics, urgent needs, accessibility, and healthcare services were assessed.Results: 73 participants were surveyed (median age: 33 years, 74% female). Most had lived in the U.S. for 1-3 years, primarily spoke Dari, lacked English proficiency, were unemployed, and earned less than $20,000 annually. Top needs were employment, food, and transportation, and key accessibility issues included transportation, clothing, and learning English. Though many had health insurance, only some felt comfortable visiting a doctor alone and felt understood by their physician. About one-third rated their health as fair or poor. For medical visits, most relied on case managers and interpreters for navigating appointments, traveled by car, and had wait times under an hour. Social determinants like housing, childcare, and healthcare access showed significant variation.ConclusionFindings reveal key elements, including language, transportation, provider communication, that shape the health experiences of resettled Afghan refugees. These access contributors can inform more responsive healthcare systems. Given the urgency of our analysis, healthcare, governmental and community programs should pursue targeted approaches to meet this population's needs.","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X251361011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144692599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, which was supported by a Patient and Public Involvement group, explored the enablers and barriers to WHWS, with a focus on sexual health and wellbeing services, cervical and breast screening, menopause care, contraception, and incontinence services.Methods: Semi-structured focus groups and interviews were conducted with sixty self-identifying women and gender non-binary participants aged 40-65 years living in the South-East of England. Recruitment was focused in underserved geographic areas and in underserved groups. Framework Analysis, also using the Socioecological Model, through an intersectionality lens, was used to analyse the enablers and barriers to WHWS. A feminist pragmatist approach was employed to interlink the findings into suggestions to improve access. The study was reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).Results: Three main themes emerged: the lack of prioritisation of midlife women; the widespread deficits in knowledge of the needs of midlife women; and the impact of stigma on access to care, particularly sexual health and genitourinary syndrome of menopause services. The intersectional disadvantage of belonging to underserved groups for example due to ethnicity, income, and disability, overlapped across the themes. Participants advocated for integrated, holistic, community-based, women-only services.Conclusion: Further research, education, and policy investment is required to address the complex, and often highly sensitive nature of many health and wellbeing issues that face midlife women. These challenges are compounded by belonging to an underserved group.","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X251358919"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on developing an in-depth understanding of how immigration status impacts primary healthcare (PHC) access among African immigrant women, particularly Ethiopian immigrant women (EIW).DesignA cross-sectional qualitative design was used to examine how immigration status shaped the healthcare experiences of EIW. In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 EIW in-person and virtually. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis followed an inductive thematic analysis using NVivo 12 software.ResultsFour major themes emerged from the analysis, demonstrating how immigration and immigration status shape EIW's healthcare access and experiences. These were: (1) Employment-based insurance, (2) Eligibility for primary healthcare services, (3) Work conditions and time, and (4) Fear of losing status and the unknown. Across all themes, participants' experiences were deeply gendered and tied to broader labor and sociocultural conditions, highlighting the vitality of immigration status in determining healthcare access.ConclusionThe findings demonstrated the crucial need to expand work authorization to all immigrant groups, streamline the application process, and extend document validity to mitigate healthcare access barriers and prevent immigrants from taking low-wage, unprotected, and hazardous jobs that heighten health risks. Expanding eligibility to different groups of immigrants for programs such as Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program, and providing clear, comprehensive healthcare information tailored for immigrant populations are recommended.","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X251357457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These persistent disparities represent a \"wicked problem,\" characterized by contested evidence, fragmented data, and a politicized health policy environment.MethodsThis study uses Tarrant County, Texas-a high-disparity urban region-as a case study to explore how multilevel governance structures shape immigrant health inequities. Drawing on the concept of wicked problems and the political determinants of health (PDoH) framework, we analyze archival data through a policy science lens to examine how electoral, legal, and institutional forces perpetuate barriers to life-saving care for immigrant women.ResultsFour key themes emerged from our analysis: (1) a reactive political environment that amplifies exclusion, (2) decision-making shaped by legal ambiguity, (3) passive enforcement of immigration policies through institutional design, and (4) blame-shifting between public and private healthcare systems. These dynamics collectively sustain health disparities by limiting access to preventive care and delaying treatment among immigrant populations.ConclusionFindings demonstrate that cervical cancer disparities are not solely the result of individual health behaviors but are produced and sustained by structural and political forces. Addressing these disparities requires interdisciplinary partnerships and place-based strategies that confront the institutional barriers embedded in local governance. We call for strategic alliances among researchers, community stakeholders, and policymakers to foster shared accountability and develop responsive, equity-driven policies for addressing cervical cancer and other preventable conditions in immigrant communities.","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"2752535X251352995"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, from the outset of the crisis, countries presented different epidemiological realities and sometimes adopted divergent, even opposing measures. Curiously, the heterogeneity of responses persisted as scientific evidence accumulated about COVID-19 and the strategies for dealing with it.Case studyThis commentary aims to recount the specific experience of Burkina Faso, and how it reoriented its initial biomedical response into a multisectoral strategy. Burkina Faso set up a committee specifically to examine the effects not only of the pandemic, but also of the control measures. This committee was mandated to decompartmentalize the lens through which the COVID-19 was dealt with. It entered into dialogue with a level of stakeholders often overlooked during national health crisis: communities. As a member of this \"National Committee for Crisis Management of the Pandemic\", one of the co-authors contributed to its orientations and has witnessed first-hand some of the challenges it faced.RecommendationsThis experience suggests that the project of extricating the field of public health from medicine is advancing in Burkina Faso. In order to manage future crises more effectively and across different sectors, there is an urgent need to establish state structures and to strengthen public health systems. States need coordination units that have the legitimacy, authority and resources required to mobilize a variety of actors at the community, national and international levels.","PeriodicalId":72648,"journal":{"name":"Community health equity research & policy","volume":" ","pages":"375-384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12059233/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141175093","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}
