Why the use of responsible language is crucial in the field of migration and ethnicity in public health. Overview and perspectives from case studies in Denmark and Germany
Compliance with Dietary Recommendations and Sociodemographic Factors in a Cross-Sectional Study of Natives and Immigrants in Spain
Economic arguments in migrant health policymaking
Welfare states around the world restrict access to public healthcare for some migrant groups. Formal restrictions on migrants’ healthcare access are often justified with economic arguments; for example, as a means to prevent excess costs and safeguard scarce resources. However, existing studies on the economics of migrant health policies suggest that restrictive policies increase rather than decrease costs. This evidence has largely been ignored …
Use of Cross-Border Healthcare Services by Elderly Turkish Migrants in Denmark
Cross-border healthcare use among elderly Turkish migrants living in Denmark has been of concern in regards to their compliance with Danish healthcare provisions. A qualitative study of 30 elderly Turkish migrants was conducted, and the analysis led to the construction of two types of users: acute and intentional. The acute users respected the authority of the Danish healthcare system and only sought the use of healthcare services in acute situat…

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
Health care agreements as a tool for coordinating health and social services
There are substantial improvements with the new health agreements in terms of formalising a better coordination of the health care system
Opportunities for healthier child feeding. Does ethnic position matter? – Self-reported evaluation of family diet and impediments to change among parents with majority and minority status in Denmark
Ethnicity and children's diets
This study explores concerns and dilemmas connected with diet, health and child-feeding in families with ethnic minority background. The aim is to contribute to better targeting of dietary advice to ethnic minority parents in Denmark. Four focus group interviews were carried out with mothers of children between 4 months and 2 and a half years who were descendants of Turkish or Pakistani immigrants. The focus groups investigated: (1) everyday feed…
Issues to Consider When Measuring and Applying Socioeconomic Position Quantitatively in Immigrant Health Research
The relationship between migration and health is complex, yet, immigrant-related inequalities in health are largely influenced by socioeconomic position. Drawing upon previous findings, this paper discusses issues to consider when measuring and applying socioeconomic position in quantitative immigrant health research. When measuring socioeconomic position, it is important to be aware of four aspects: (1) there is a lack of clarity about how socio…
Is the high-risk strategy to prevent cardiovascular disease equitable? A pharmacoepidemiological cohort study
The high-risk strategy to prevent CVD by initiating statin therapy seems to be inequitable, reaching primarily high-risk subjects in lower risk SEP-groups
The relationship between changes in health behaviour and initiation of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive medications in individuals at high risk of ischaemic heart disease
Generally, we observed health conscious behaviour in terms of increased initiation of preventive medications among those who reported positive changes in health behaviour. This study therefore suggests that more attention should be given to identifying individuals and groups, who are less health conscious and thereby less likely to engage in either preventive medications or changes in health behaviours
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
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
Good practice in health care for migrants
Health care professionals in different services experience similar difficulties when providing care to migrants. They also have relatively consistent views on what constitutes good practice. The degree to which these components already are part of routine practice varies. Implementing good practice requires sufficient resources and organisational flexibility, positive attitudes, training for staff and the provision of information
Diagnostic delay, quality of life and patient satisfaction among women diagnosed with endometrial or ovarian cancer
Poorer self-perceived health among migrants and ethnic minorities versus the majority population in Europe
Measurement of integrated healthcare delivery
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…
Does a public single payer system deliver integrated services? A national survey study among professional stakeholders in Denmark
BACKGROUND: Integrated health care delivery is a goal of contemporary health systems; however, the achievement of this goal is rarely quantified. The Danish health care system provides an interesting case study, as a setting with a formally integrated financing and delivery system. PURPOSE: To measure the level of integration of care and conceptual sub dimensions in the Danish health system, using a major professional stakeholder (MaPS) approach.…
Does a public single payer system deliver integrated care? A national survey study among professional stakeholders in Denmark
The scope for improvement is high due to the structural composition of the system. Increased managerial stewardship, alignment of the financial incentives, and expanded use of information communication technology to link sub-organisations will be a way to move the system forward to meet its explicit goal of providing an integrated delivery of services
Are joint health plans effective for coordination of health services? An analysis based on theory and Danish pre-reform results
Joint health planning is needed to achieve coordination of care. Efforts must be made to overcome barriers hampering efficient whole system planning. Active policies emphasising the necessity of health planning, despite involved cost, are warranted to insure delivery of care that benefits the health of the population
Access to health care for asylum seekers in the European Union—a comparative study of country policies
BACKGROUND: The aim of our article is to characterise and compare current standards of health care provision for asylum seekers in the 25 European Union (EU) countries in order to identify the needs and potential for improving access to health care for asylum seekers. 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,…

Effect of social class on tumour size at diagnosis and surgical treatment in Danish women with breast cancer
Changing life expectancy in the 1980s
OBJECTIVE: To identify the contribution from specific causes of death to the changes in life expectancy at birth in Denmark relative to Sweden in different age groups during the 1980s and to compare the difference in life expectancy between the two countries in 1990. DESIGN: Mortality data from WHO mortality tapes grouped in smaller series of clinically meaningful categories were used to calculate the contribution of each of these categories at e…
