Global Insights on the Involvement of Ethnic Minority Populations in Health and Social Care Research Priority Setting
Health and social care experience and research perception of different ethnic minority populations in the East Midlands, United Kingdom (Represent study)
INTRODUCTION: Ethnic minority populations experience significant health and social care disparities; despite experiencing a greater burden of diseases, these groups are underrepresented in health and social care research. Consequently, related research can be less applicable to these population groups. The REPRESENT study aims to explore the health and social care experiences of ethnic minorities and other minoritised populations, their research …
Discrimination, disadvantage and disempowerment during Covid-19
Our research demonstrates how an intrasectional lens can help better understand how different forms of mutually reinforcing inequities exist at all levels within the healthcare workforce and how these impact HCWs from certain backgrounds who face greater disadvantage, discrimination and disempowerment, particularly during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic
Health Communication and Inequalities in Primary Care Access during the Covid-19 Pandemic among Ethnic Minorities in the United Kingdom
Health Communication is critical in the context of public health and this was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethnic minority groups were significantly impacted during the pandemic; however, communication and information available to them were reported to be insufficient. This study explored the health information communication amongst ethnic communities in relation to their experiences with primary health care services during the COVID…
Resilience actions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in camp-like settings
Despite resource shortages, the IDPs adapted by setting up techniques for managing their affairs and available resources, finding innovative ways to cater for themselves, advocating for their needs, and supporting each other. These observations showed how displaced populations can be active actors in their change and development if basic and essential management support is provided. Engaging IDPs in camp management could reduce long-term dependen…
Exploring the influence of health management processes on health outcomes among internally displaced persons (IDPs)
The health of IDPs in camp-like settings was compromised by uncoordinated management, treatment, and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Government authorities need to be aware and consider the complexity of the multiagency involvement in the management and provision of IDP healthcare services. Introducing systems to streamline, monitor and support IDP healthcare management could be cost-effective strategies for achieving optim…
Understanding the health needs of internally displaced persons
We seek to strengthen understanding of the health needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in contexts of conflict or violence. Based upon a scoping review, our paper identified limited evidence on IDP health, but nevertheless indicates that IDPs tend to experience worse health outcomes than other conflict-affected populations across a range of health issues; and this is due to the particularly vulnerable situation of IDPs relative to these o…
