Determinants for the humanitarian workforce in migrant health at the US-Mexico border
Introduction: Shortages of health professionals is a common problem in humanitarian settings, including among migrants and refugees at the US-Mexico border. We aimed to investigate determinants and recruitment recommendations for working with migrants to better understand how to improve health professional participation in humanitarian efforts. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with health professionals working with migrants at t…
Innovative strategies and implementation science approaches for health delivery among migrants in humanitarian settings
Introduction Over 100 million displaced people rely on health services in humanitarian contexts, defined as unstable or transitory settings created in response to complex emergencies. While services are often described, there is a dearth of evidence on best practices for successful implementation to guide efforts to optimize health delivery. Implementation science is a promising but underutilized tool to address this gap. This scoping review eval…
President Biden’s Proclamation on Securing the Border and DHS-DOJ Interim Final Rule– A Potential Threat to the Health of Migrants
Epidemiology of asylum seekers and refugees at the Mexico-US border
In this large study of a migrating population at the Mexico-US border, we found a variety of clinical conditions, with respiratory, musculoskeletal, and skin illnesses the most common in this study period which encompassed a period of restrictive immigration policy and the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
Health effects and user perceptions of the US Customs and Border Patrol OneTM mobile application
Our findings suggest that asylum seekers at the Reynosa port of entry perceive CBP OneTM negatively, with detrimental effects towards their mental and physical health. This study highlights how immigration policy can influence health and suggests that more creative and humane approaches are needed for people seeking asylum at the Mexico-US border
Ten Questions to Guide Learners Seeking Equitable Global Health Experiences Abroad
“Global health experiences,” clinical and research learning opportunities where learners from high-income country (HIC) institutions travel to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are becoming increasingly popular and prolific in the health sciences. Increased interest has been well documented among medical, pharmacy, and nursing learners who are driving these agendas at their institutions. Although such opportunities have potential to mutua…
How Should Health Systems Help Clinicians Manage Bias Against Ex-combatants
Clinicians in postconflict health care settings can be tasked with caring for patients who are ex-combatants. This commentary responds to a case of a health worker with duties to care for ex-Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia combatants. Specifically, this article considers clinical, ethical, and legal demands of reincorporating ex-combatants in compliance with a peace agreement on systems and individual health workers
Supporting healthcare workers caring for ex-combatants
With the Peace Agreement between Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), Colombia promised healthcare to 13,000 'reincorporating' FARC ex-combatants. Shortages of healthcare workers in reincorporation camps means this promise is in danger of going unfulfilled. More information is needed to determine incentives, disincentives, and recruitment of healthcare providers to address this shortage. Semi-structured interviews were conducted wi…
Sustainable palm weevil farming as nutrition supplementation at maternity waiting homes in Liberia
An edible insect project using palm weevil larva is one promising intervention as a nutrition supplement for expectant mothers at pre-established MWHs in rural Liberia. Edible insect rearing also has potential as an income generating activity for MWHs. Future studies should focus on addressing common barriers of remote implementation and metric tracking during the COVID-19 pandemic and reinforcing infrastructure to protect larvae rearing supplies
Challenges and Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Asylum Seeker Health at the U.S.-Mexico Border
Our findings among asylum seekers in a Matamoros camp highlight the challenges to implementing disease reduction policies in low-resource congregate camps. Policies to address disease outbreaks focusing on the social determinants of health, health care access barriers, and community engagement may be more acceptable to asylum seekers, suggesting the need for effective strategies to provide prevention information that complements such measures
Healthcare access barriers for Farc ex-combatants in Colombia
FARC ex-combatants face significant healthcare access barriers, some of which are unique from other low-resource populations in Colombia. Potential solutions to these barriers included health insurance provider partnerships with health centers close to ETCRs, and training and contracting FARC health promoters to be primary healthcare providers in ETCRs. Future studies are needed to quantify the healthcare barriers affecting FARC ex-combatants, in…
