Evaluating the Impact of Rental Assistance on Self-Reliance and Well-Being Among Displaced Populations
Background Housing insecurity is a central but understudied determinant of self-reliance and psychosocial well-being among forcibly displaced populations. This study evaluates the relationship between a nine-month rental assistance program on self-reliance and multiple dimensions of well-being among female-headed Venezuelan migrant households in Colombia. Methods To construct a matched control group, 517 treated and 549 eligible untreated househo…
Development process of a context-specific instrument to measure children's sense of protection (PROTECT)
Violence against children (VAC) is a global problem, and the development of empirical methods to better understand its nature is a step towards tackling this challenge. Tools exist to collect data on VAC. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, no standardized process exists to develop a context-specific instrument that measures children's sense of protection. The primary aim of this paper is to present the steps followed to develop such an instrument…
Feasibility, acceptability and implementation of a whole-family mental health intervention for displaced adolescent girls in Colombia
Adolescent girls affected by displacement face substantial mental-health risks. The Sibling Support for Adolescent Girls in Emergencies (SSAGE) is a 12-week, gender-transformative, family-based program designed to improve adolescent girls' mental health in humanitarian settings. This mixed-methods pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed SSAGE's feasibility, acceptability and potential effects among 186 Venezuelan migrant and Colombian re…
Pathways to self-reliance
ESGL shows preliminary promise in maintaining or improving economic self-reliance among forcibly displaced women in urban Colombia. A fully powered RCT is needed to confirm these initial findings and examine potential mental health effects. Future research should also assess longer-term impacts and optimize delivery in urban humanitarian contexts
Beyond shelter
Urban refugees in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) often face housing insecurity, undermining their ability to achieve self-reliance and well-being. Few studies have evaluated the impact of housing interventions in these contexts. This study offers preliminary evidence on the effectiveness of a 9-month rental assistance program targeting female-headed Venezuelan migrant households in Colombia. Using pre-post data from 517 participants, we…
Understanding linkages between self-reliance and mental health among forcibly displaced women in Colombia
This study explores the relationship between household-level self-reliance and mental health outcomes—specifically, depression symptoms and resilience—among forcibly displaced women in Colombia. Using baseline data from 348 women participating in an entrepreneurial program with a gender lens, we employed multiple regression analyses to examine self-reliance, measured via the Self-Reliance Index (SRI), and its association with depressive symptoms …
Forced displacement, household composition, and mental health
Findings underscore the significance of household gender composition in relation to the mental health and self-esteem of forcibly displaced adolescent girls. Findings highlight the potential protection of a gender-transformative approach within family-centered interventions to improve forcibly displaced girls' well-being
Mental health of female Venezuelan migrant caregivers in Colombia
Background: The Venezuelan migrant crisis is the largest forced displacement in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuelan migrants face numerous challenges during the migration and resettlement process, negatively impacting their mental and physical health. Migrants who are caregivers face additional vulnerabilities and health needs, particularly women of reproductive age. However, there is limited research on the mental health of this population, inclu…
Disparities in healthcare-seeking behaviors and associated costs between Venezuelan migrants and Colombians residing in Colombia
While Colombians and Venezuelans share similar disease burdens, significant differences exist in access, cost, and health-seeking behaviors. Increasing Venezuelan health insurance enrollment and tackling accessibility barriers are crucial for ensuring healthcare equity and effectively integrating the migrant population. Findings suggest that improving migrant access to primary healthcare would produce savings in Colombian healthcare expenditures
Impact of weekday and weekend mobility and public policies on Covid-19 incidence and deaths across 76 large municipalities in Colombia
We believe this is the first evaluation of day-of-the week mobility on COVID-19. Weekend behavior was likely riskier than weekday behavior due to larger gatherings and less social distancing or protective measures. Reducing or shifting such activities outdoors would reduce COVID-19 cases and deaths
