Community Agency Health Promotion Capacity for Ethno-Culturally Diverse Immigrant Women
High rates of international migration must be addressed by healthcare systems. In particular, immigrant women lack access to and quality of care. Community-based health promotion may be one way to reach immigrant women. The aim of this study was to explore the capacity of immigrant settlement agencies for health promotion to immigrant women. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with immigrant women and community agency managers to di…
Parenting Values of African Immigrants
African immigrant parents face unique challenges when raising their children in a new sociocultural environment. Parenting approaches that they experienced as children may no longer be feasible in their new context and often require adaptation. Informed by transnationalism, this qualitative study explored the parenting values of African immigrants living in Alberta, Canada. Interviews were conducted with 32 African immigrant parents and 14 commun…
Access to Healthcare for Black Women in Alberta
Alberta is home to one of Canada's fastest growing populations of Black people, driven by an influx of African immigrants to major metropolitan areas such as Edmonton and Calgary. As the Black population in Alberta continues to grow, it is crucial to the well-being of these communities that we understand their health service needs. Black women are a vulnerable group within the Black population due to inequities in social determinants of health su…

The revie…
Reproductive Health for Conflict-Affected Displaced Women in Nigeria
Nigeria is a significant contributor to the global forcibly displaced population. The majority of this displacement is related to Boko Haram and herdsmen attacks in Northern Nigeria. A growing body of research has started to investigate issues surrounding protection concerns for the internally displaced who have been uprooted by these uprisings and attacks. Importantly, research is also starting to engage with issues of sexual violence and unwant…
The health of internally displaced children in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Internally displaced children are those who have been forced to flee their homes due to severe unfavourable conditions (war, violence or disasters) but have not crossed international borders. Emerging research shows these children face multiple health challenges. However, we found no review focused solely on the health of such internally displaced children. Thus, this review sought to examine what is known about their health and their…
Reproductive healthcare for women in IDP camps in Nigeria
Health and health service access for women displaced by terrorism from Northeast Nigeria is a serious problem. Existing government and humanitarian initiatives in Northeast Nigeria focus on food, security, housing, water and sanitation to the neglect of health access needs, especially access to reproductive health. With no policy in place and very little existing research, the systemic influences surrounding IDP women's health in Nigeria are not …
