Transnational Care and Well‐Being of Family Members Across Generations, Contexts and Countries
This Special Issue centres well‐being as a primary lens for understanding transnational family life. Drawing on eight papers that employ qualitative and quantitative methods, the collection examines diverse family members, including parents, children, youth, adults, grandparents and descendants across varied transnational configurations in countries such as Poland, Moldova, Ukraine, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland and Germany. The p…
A family is an angel”
This article explores how children who have recently immigrated to Québec, Canada, represent the family. Using the child-centered approach, this qualitative study is based on semi-structured interviews with 43 immigrant children aged 6 to 14 years. The results reveal that children represent the family according to the different functions it plays in their lives, that is, to provide them with security, protection and support, and that their defini…
Factors Influencing the Acceptance or Rejection of Dietary and Body Norm Systems Favorable to the Prevention and Control of Type 2 Diabetes Among Sub-Saharan Africa migrants
The Well-Being and Ill-Being of Transnational Grandparents of Migrant Families Living in Canada
Using a comparative approach, we deconstruct and examine the different facets of well-being and ill-being of transnational grandparents whose migrant adult children and grandchildren are living in Canada. Experiences ranged from happiness and satisfaction to grandparents being severely affected and deeply suffering. Well-being and ill-being were shaped by the following: (1) grandparents' perspectives and feelings about the transnational circumsta…
Discrimination and Racial Inequities in Self-reported Mental Health Among Immigrants and Canadian-Born Individuals in a Large, Nationally Representative Canadian Survey
We examined the link between discrimination and self-rated mental health (SRMH) among immigrants and Canadian-born individuals, stratified according to an individual's identification as racialized or white. Using data from Canada's General Social Survey (2014) (weighted N = 27,575,000) with a novel oversample of immigrants, we estimated the association of perceived discrimination with SRMH separately among immigrants and Canadian-born individuals…
Transnationalism and caring for vulnerable-status, migrant women and their families during pregnancy and early-childhood
Migrants commonly maintain transnational ties with their home country including identities, attachments, and social, cultural, economic and service/care interactions. Significant gaps remain regarding care-providers’ perspectives on migrants’ transnational ties and whether and how these ties are addressed in the context of care. La Maison Bleue (LMB) is a community-based social perinatal care service with four sites in Montreal, Canada, providing…

A scoping review on the measurement of transnationalism in migrant health research in high-income countries
Global health is more than just ‘Public Health Somewhere Else’
Global health can be anywhere as it often focuses on large-scale health inequities that are rooted in transnational determinants. Some global health initiatives and actors aim to find solutions to domestic problems. King and Koski's definition of global health may exacerbate inequities by reserving the right to call oneself a global health researcher to those who are privileged and have access to funding that enables them to travel to other setti…
Factors associated with cyber-victimization among immigrants and non-immigrants in Canada
Immigration status and sex were differentially associated with cyber-victimization. Findings support the salience of a social-ecological perspective and gender-stratified analyses to better elucidate complex pathways linking cyber-victimization to potential gender-based health inequities among immigrants

Challenges newly-arrived migrant women in Montreal face when needing maternity care
BACKGROUND: People who leave their country of origin, or the country of habitual residence, to establish themselves permanently in another country are usually referred to as migrants. Over half of all births in Montreal, Canada are to migrant women. To understand healthcare professionals' attitudes towards migrants that could influence their delivery of care, our objective was to explore their perspectives of challenges newly-arrived migrant wome…
Refugees, asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants and the experience of parenthood
OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the recent qualitative literature and identify the integrative themes describing the parenthood experiences of refugees, asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants. METHODS: We searched seven online databases for the period January 2006 to February 2017. We included English and French published peer-reviewed articles and graduate-level dissertations, which qualitatively examined the parenthood experiences of refugees, asylu…
Postpartum Pain in the Community Among Migrant and Non-migrant Women in Canada
International migration to Canada
There are over 214 million international migrants worldwide, half of whom are women, and all of them assigned by the receiving country to an immigration class. Immigration classes are associated with certain health risks and regulatory restrictions related to eligibility for health care. Prior to this study, reports of international migrant post-birth health had not been compared between immigration classes, with the exception of our earlier, sma…
Cross-border movement and women's health
Carefully constructed and translated survey questionnaires are practical tools for the collection of a breadth of migrant data. These data, including detailed accounts of countries lived in, length of time in those countries, immigration status, change in status, language fluency, and health insurance eligibility offer rich descriptions of the population under study and make research findings with regards to migration more interpretable. Analyses…
Refugee Claimant Women and Barriers to Health and Social Services Post-birth
Improving Qualitative Interviews With Newly Arrived Migrant Women
There is a paucity of literature on how to conduct research with migrants, particularly those who do not speak the host country language, those who are newly arrived, and those who have a precarious immigration status. In qualitative research, interviewing is a common method for obtaining rich data and participants' points of view. Gathering and presenting all perspectives when interviewing vulnerable migrant women on health-seeking behaviors is …

A Systematic Review of Refugee Women’s Reproductive Health
Resettling refugee women may be at greater risk than other women for several harmful reproductive health outcomes as a result of their migration experience. The objective of this study was to determine differences in reproductive health status between refugee women in countries of resettlement and non-refugee counterparts. A systematic review of the literature culled from five electronic databases and web searching of international agencies and a…
