Centering U.S. Rural, Immigrant Latinx Adolescent Voices Through Narrative Mapping
In the current study, we explore how rural immigrant Latinx adolescents make sense of and cope with their experiences through narrative mapping. Narrative mapping is an arts-based research method consisting of intrapersonal sensemaking through drawing and interpersonal sensemaking through discussion with others. We theoretically ground our study in narrative resilience via communicated narrative sense-making (CNSM) theory’s translational storytel…
Aging Alone in the City
Coca-Cola and hookah
Large numbers of refugees from Iraq continue to resettle in the United States, but there is limited information about the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of ethnoreligious Yazidi refugees in a U.S. resettlement context. Thus, we sought to answer the following questions: (1) How do different groups of Yazidi refugees experience and perceive mental health and psychosocial wellbeing?; (2) What are Yazidi refugees’ preferred help-seeking str…
The 2023 State of Nebraska Families
Too Many Jobs and Not Enough Hands
Refugees and immigrants have experienced heightened health inequities related to COVID-19. As community-embedded frontline health personnel, refugee and immigrant community health workers (riCHWs) played essential roles in the provision of informational, instrumental, and emotional support during the unprecedented first year of the pandemic. Despite the importance of this workforce, riCHWs are at high risk for burnout due to low recognition and d…
Syrian Refugee Women’s Maternal Mental Health Perceptions, Coping Strategies, and Help-Seeking Practices in Lebanon
INTRODUCTION: Globally, 27 million female refugees of reproductive age are subjected to numerous socio-ecological factors that increase their risks of mental health issues, especially during the postpartum period. This study seeks to explore Syrian refugee mothers' experiences and perceptions of postpartum depression. METHODS: We used a qualitative phenomenological approach to interview purposively sampled typical postpartum Syrian mothers living…
Church as NGO? Leveraging Religious Networks to Promote Health Rights for Urban-Displaced Refugees—Lessons from Tanzania
Human rights practice is of particular importance to addressing health disparities among forcibly displaced groups. Older refugees in low- and middle-income countries may be socially and structurally vulnerable to poor health related to human rights abuses, xenophobia, and inadequate resources compounded with ageism and isolation. In this policy and practice note, we use findings from a phenomenological study with 23 older Congolese refugees in u…
Examining and evaluating multilevel communication within a mixed-methods, community-based participatory research project in a rural, minority–majority U.S. Town
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been shown to improve health and social well-being by including diverse, marginalized community voices within academic–community partnerships. Although CBPR has gained in popularity, an explicit examination and evaluation of communication processes and outcomes throughout an entire CBPR project is lacking. Here, we analyze interviews with 10 stakeholders (i.e. 4 academic and 6 community partners) …
Cultural Bereavement and Resilience in Refugee Resettlement
This study explored how ethnic Yazidi refugee women overcome adversity to promote psychosocial health and well-being within the context of U.S. resettlement. Nine Yazidi women participated in two small photovoice groups, each group lasting eight sessions (16 sessions total). Women discussed premigration and resettlement challenges, cultural strengths and resources, and strategies to overcome adversity. Yazidi women identified trauma and perceived…
Commentary
REFUGEES' INEQUITABLE access to health care, information, and health-promoting resources in high-income countries is well documented1 and poses unique challenges during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Recent attention to addressing refugees' COVID-19 prevention, risk mitigation, and access to care and health-promoting resources has been concentrated in low- and middle-income countries where most of the world's refugees reside.2 Although fewe…
Ethnic Comparisons in Perceptions of Health, Happiness, Hope, and Related Social Determinants of Health in a Majority-Minority Midwestern Town
In a rural Midwestern community sample (n=273), large proportions of Somalis and Whites ranked overall health as "Very good" (57% and 50%, respectively), while Hispanics (42%) considered it "Good". Across all groups, most are either "Happy" or "Very happy" with their jobs—64%, 91%, 83%—or their families—85%, 93%, 91.6%— with reference to Hispanics, Somalis, and Whites, respectively. When asked “In the past 30 days, how often did you feel hopeless…
Psychological distress prevalence and associated stressors and supports among urban-displaced Congolese adults in Kenya
BACKGROUND: There is limited understanding of the prevalence of psychological distress and associated stressors and supports among displaced adults in low- and middle-income first asylum countries. METHOD: This article reports the findings of a cross-sectional study. We recruited 245 Congolese adults (18-80 years) residing in Nairobi, Kenya using snowball sampling. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire consisting of …
Emotional support and mental health among Somali men in a rural Midwestern town
Perceived social support has been correlated with refugees’ positive mental health outcomes; yet, little is known about the perceived sources of support after secondary migration to new-destination rural towns. Somali refugee men (n _ 49) residing in a rural Midwest United States community were recruited using respondent-driven sampling to complete a self-administered structured survey in English or Somali using audio computer-assisted self-inter…
Urban Congolese Refugees' Social Capital and Community Resilience During a Period of Political Violence in Kenya
Community resilience has been used as a conceptual framework to promote urban refugee protection, integration, and well-being. In the context of this focus on “refugee communities,” it is critical to gain a deeper understanding of the ways urban refugee “communities” function. This study explored urban Congolese refugees’ use of social capital to promote resilience during a period of political violence in Nairobi, Kenya. Findings illustrate how r…
Do not forget families and households when addressing urban refugee education
There are currently more than 25.4 million refugees globally, representing the largest number of refugees in recorded history (UNHCR 2018). More than one in three refugees who fall under the auspices of United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) protection are of school age (UNHCR 2019a). Dryden-Peterson (2015, 2016) points out that much of what is known about refugee education stems from research conducted in high-income countries of resettlement, ig…
Urban Congolese Refugees in Kenya
The global increase in refugee migration to urban areas creates challenges pertaining to the promotion of refugee health, broadly conceived. Despite considerable attention to trauma and forced migration, there is relatively little focus on how refugees cope with stressful situations, and on the determinants that facilitate and undermine resilience. This article examines how urban Congolese refugees in Kenya promote psychosocial well-being in the …
