Associations of migrant and refugee status with physical comorbidity and mortality among young adults with incident non-affective psychotic disorders
Among those with NAPDs, migrants (particularly refugees) are at greater risk of developing diabetes and infectious diseases. Given the global increase in refugee populations, our findings have important implications for healthcare providers and suggest that these vulnerable individuals may require closer monitoring of physical health
Association between new-onset atrial fibrillation and adverse clinical outcomes by country of origin
AF was associated with a substantially higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes among Danish-born, and all examined migrant populations. However, the impact of AF appeared to differ according to country of origin, which could indicate potential differences in AF care and compliance
Socioeconomic disparities in long Covid diagnosis among ethnic minorities in Denmark
These findings highlight the need to address ethnic disparities in long COVID, particularly among migrants with low income. Workplace interventions and policies targeting work-related vulnerabilities could help reduce the disproportionate burden of long COVID among migrant workers

Culture significantly influences the understanding, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders, particularly among migrant patients. This observational study examines the frequency and timing of diagnostic changes among migrant patients in a specialized psychiatric outpatient clinic. Furthermore, the study includes a qualitative sub-study to provide insights into the diagnostic process. Out of the 119 migrant patients included in …
Association of common mental disorders and related multimorbidity with subsequent labor market marginalization among refugee and Swedish-born young adults
Background Common mental disorders (CMDs), multimorbidity, and refugee status are associated with poor labor market outcome. Little is known about how these factors interact in young adults. Objective We aimed to i) investigate whether the association of CMDs and multimorbidity with labor market marginalization (LMM) differs between refugee and Swedish-born young adults and ii) identify diagnostic groups with particularly high risk for LMM. Metho…

The purpose of this study is to explore undocumented immigrant women's experiences of, as well as their access to, maternity care services during pregnancy in Denmark. Recruiting through the two branches of a non-governmental organization (NGO)-driven health clinic in Denmark, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with undocumented immigrant women in Denmark from January 2018 to January 2019. The undocumented immigrant women experienced barr…
The Care Ethics of Child Health Nurses in Danish Asylum Centers
Child health nurses play an important role in promoting the health and well-being of children and families seeking asylum. However, little is known about how they establish caring partnerships with families in asylum centers. In this article, we examine the ethical care practices that child health nurses within Danish asylum centers adopt to overcome barriers, related to culture, language and migration history, in delivering care. We conducted et…
Targeting preventive home visits to older adults in disadvantaged communities
This study explored the implementation of multidimensional preventive home visits targeted to older adults living in a disadvantaged community in Denmark. The intervention was adapted to include the following key components: involvement of community members in recruitment processes; a combination of individual and group-based dissemination; adaptation of materials to overcome language barriers; and diversity-sensitivity training for professionals…
Using the Cultural Formulation Interview in Denmark
Previous studies have shown the importance of focusing on the cultural background of migrant patients in the psychiatric assessment. The Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) offers a patient-focused approach to foreground the cultural context of the patient in the clinical encounter. Our objective was to explore the acceptability and clinical utility of the CFI for physicians and its acceptability for migrant patients seen at a transcultural ment…
Multimorbidity and mortality thereof, among non-western refugees and family reunification immigrants in Denmark – a register based cohort study
Refugees are an at-risk group for multimorbidity, however, mortality among those with multimorbidity is lower in all migrant groups compared to Danish-born
Exploring Foodscapes at a Danish Public School
Promoting healthy eating among children has high priority in Nordic countries but remains complex. With the purpose of contributing knowledge to inform efforts to promote healthy eating environments in schools, this article explores how children feel and reflect about eating at school and seeks to nuance understandings of how food and eating are situated in school life. The article draws on ethnographic studies carried out at a Danish public spor…
Becoming (ethnic minority) teenagers
This article explores how everyday school life interacts with students’ practices of ‘becoming teenagers’ at a Danish school, analysing how age and ethnicity intersect with emotional well-being. The article builds on an ethnographic study at a public sports school following ethnic minority and majority students in two school classes from the fifth to seventh grades. Taking a practice approach, the article first analyses school as a social site be…
Return Migrants’ Experience of Access to Care in Corrupt Healthcare Systems
Equal and universal access to healthcare services is a core priority for a just health system. A key societal determinant seen to create inequality in access to healthcare is corruption in the healthcare system. How return migrants' access to healthcare is affected by corruption is largely unstudied, even though return migrants may be particularly vulnerable to problems related to corruption due to their period of absence from their country of or…
Return Migration among Elderly, Chronically Ill Bosnian Refugees
Elderly migrants constitute a considerable share of global return migration; nevertheless, literature on the health aspects of the return migration among these migrants is still scarce. This study explores the significance of return migration among elderly, chronically ill Bosnian refugees from Denmark and the role of health issues in their decision to return. It is based on semi-structured interviews with 33 elderly, chronically ill Bosnian refu…
Patient Experienced Continuity of Care in the Psychiatric Healthcare System—A Study Including Immigrants, Refugees and Ethnic Danes
The study sheds light on concerns specific to immigrants and refugees in a framework of continuity of care, but also commonalities across the patient groups
Duration of residence and psychotropic drug use in recently settled refugees in Sweden - a register-based study
The rates of dispensed psychotropic drugs in the newly settled refugee populations in this study were low, with an increase with longer duration of residence. This pattern suggests barriers to access mental health care. Interventions that can lower these barriers are needed to enable newly settled refugees to access mental health care on equal terms with the native population
Survey nonresponse among ethnic minorities in a national health survey – a mixed-method study of participation, barriers, and potentials
Nonresponse appears related to linguistic and/or educational limitations, to alienation generated by the questions' focus on disease and cultural assumptions, or mistrust regarding anonymity. Ethnic minorities seem particularly affected by such barriers. To increase survey participation, questions could be sensitized to reflect multicultural traditions, and the impact of sender and setting considered
Contextualising migrants’ health behaviour - a qualitative study of transnational ties and their implications for participation in mammography screening
The study emphasises the need to take into account the multi-layered and multi-sided factors in migrants' everyday life in order to further understand their health behaviour
Inequalities in asthma treatment among children by country of birth and ancestry
BACKGROUND: Investigations in several Western countries have reported ethnic differences in asthma prevalence and treatment among children and in some countries these differences are increasing. The aim of this study was to analyse whether there are inequalities in asthma treatment by country of birth and ancestry among children residing in Denmark, and whether this potential association may vary between different household income groups. METHODS…

METHODS: The study is based on an e-mail survey performed between April and June 2004. The questionnaire was concerned with asylum seekers' access to medical screening upon arrival,…
Mental health among children seeking asylum in Denmark – the effect of length of stay and number of relocations
Protracted stays at asylum centres and multiple relocations within the asylum system appear to have an adverse effect on asylum-seeking children's mental health. A limit to the duration of the children's stay in the asylum system should be ensured. Follow-up studies with inclusion of other conditions, such as parental mental health and the children's previous trauma, are needed to clarify the influence of the different factors and their interacti…
Access to healthcare and alternative health-seeking strategies among undocumented migrants in Denmark
Undocumented migrants face formal and informal barriers to the Danish healthcare system, which lead to alternative health-seeking strategies that may have adverse effects on their health. This study shows the need for policies and guidelines, which in accordance with international human rights law, ensure access to healthcare for undocumented migrants and give clarity to healthcare professionals
Inequalities in mortality among refugees and immigrants compared to native Danes – a historical prospective cohort study
Mortality patterns were overall advantageous for refugees and immigrants compared with native Danes. Research should concentrate on disentangling the reasons behind migrants' health advantages, in order to enlighten future preventive public-health efforts, for the benefit of the entire population
