Does stress produce racialized patterns in clinical decisions? - A vignette study among physicians in Germany
Healthcare systems increasingly operate under conditions of staff shortages, time pressure, and growing economic pressures. While a growing body of research documents racialized inequalities in healthcare, less is known about how these organizational conditions shape clinical decision-making and potentially contribute to unequal treatment. Situating stress within the broader political economy of healthcare economization, this study examines wheth…
Beyond depressive symptoms
Background Mental burden is largely conceptualized through mental illness, yet it can manifest beyond diagnostic categories. We contend that social suffering requires separate consideration, as it frames mental burden through intersubjective, collective, and power dynamics, while centering its inextricable link to social and political injustice. Lebanon offers a relevant setting, hosting Syrian refugees amid economic crisis and intermittent armed…
Grounding global health in care
Recent academic and activist critiques raise important points about the ways in which coloniality, migration and racialization are often overlooked in global health research and practice. In particular, these critiques highlight how such structural forces perpetuate inequalities and exclusions, as well as processes of epistemic violence in global health. While agreeing with these critical interventions, this paper argues for a focus on care and t…
Good practice in reaching and treating refugees in addiction care in Germany – a Delphi study
In order to guarantee human rights regarding health and adequate access to health care for refugees, institutional barriers limiting access to prevention and treatment programs for addictive disorders must be abolished. The identified good practice strategies for Germany, if widely implemented, could contribute to this aim. By opening up prevention and treatment facilities for refugees, other marginalized groups could also benefit. While some of …
Social ecological determinants of the mental distress among Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Turkey
Based on this analysis, we argue that a context-specific understanding of mental distress amidst the social ecology refugees face in countries of refuge and transit is necessary. This approach needs to be pursued to provide adequate support and alleviate refugees' mental distress both, in the country of first refuge and after possible onward migration. In addition to clinical implications, the study particularly highlights the important role anti…
An ecosystemic view on refugee mental health care
Despite the burden of mental health problems among refugees, knowledge about mental health care for this group is limited. In this context, the comprehensive discussion is important because care is more than professional care, but takes place in everyday situations and between different groups of people. In this study, we look at expert views (based on profession and lived experience) on caring environments concerning refugees’ mental health on d…
Substance (mis)use among refugees as a matter of social ecology
Given that refugees who (mis)use substances have limited to no control over the factors identified in our study to be associated with substance (mis)use, common treatment and prevention approaches are challenged. Furthermore, we recommend aiming for a holistic comprehension of refugees' substance (mis)use by expanding the focus beyond individuals to the social ecological context in any attempt, including prevention, treatment, research, and polic…
Spatiality of Social Stress Experienced by Refugee Women in Initial Reception Centers
This study takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the multi-dimensionality of social stress within the spatiality of initial refugee reception centers in Berlin. By focusing particularly on the experiences of women who fled from Syria and Afghanistan, it situates this humanitarian issue within an analytical framework of gender-sensitive and culturally sensitive research and policymaking. Through qualitative interviews with 11 refuge…
A Central Clearing Clinic to Provide Mental Health Services for Refugees in Germany
Objective: To determine migration related distress pattern in refugees and feasibility of a de novo established, central low-threshold outpatient clinic serving more than 80,000 newly arrived refugees in the metropole of Berlin. Methods: In an observational cohort study the relative prevalence of major psychiatric disorders by age, place of living within berlin, language and region of origin were assessed in a refugee cohort from 63 nationalities…
Tanzanian Women ́s Knowledge About Cervical Cancer and HPV and Their Prevalence of Positive via Cervical Screening Results. Data From a Prevention and Awareness Campaign in Northern Tanzania, 2017 – 2…
There is an alarming lack of knowledge about cervical cancer and, to a lesser Extent, about HPV among the study participants. Having health insurance influenced the level of knowledge significantly. Outreach programs in rural areas appear to target the population in need of health education. Low positive VIA screening results are paralleled with lower HIV rates among the women. We assume that the high density of primary health care coverage in no…

Door-to-door travel in 2035 – A Delphi study
Intermodal, door-to-door (D2D) travel is gaining momentum for airlines, airports, and feeder traffic providers. At the same time, competition is increasing; having a better understanding of future travelers’ requirements regarding D2D mobility is crucial for the mobility sector, for planning long-term, adapting products and services accordingly, and improving the overall passenger experience. Little information is available on this matter and gat…

Good practice in mental health care for socially marginalised groups in Europe
Experts across Europe hold similar views on what constitutes good practice in mental health care for marginalised groups. Care may be improved through better service organisation, coordination and information
Mental health care for irregular migrants in Europe
Even in countries where access to health care is legally possible for IMs, various other barriers remain. Some of these are common to all migrants, whilst others are specific for IMs. Attempts at improving mental health care for IMs should consider barriers beyond legal entitlement, including communicating information about entitlement to mental health care professionals and patients, providing culturally sensitive care and ensuring sufficient re…
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
Health care for immigrants in Europe
Experts across Europe asserted the right to culturally sensitive health care for all immigrants. There is a broad consensus among experts about the major principles of good practice that need to be implemented across Europe. However, there also is some disagreement both within and between countries on specific issues that require further research and debate
