Good and equitable health” – a critical analysis of equity discourses in Swedish regional action plans for mental health
The goal of Swedish public health policy is to create conditions that enable good and equitable health and eliminate avoidable health inequities. Although previous research emphasizes the importance of considering inequities in mental health promotion and policy, and although researchers and policy makers emphasize the importance of a system-approach to mental health, there seems to be an ambiguity in how the concept of equity is understood. Ther…

Young people’s proposals for tackling everyday challenges in order to improve mental health
Both groups proposed that adults must listen more to young people in order to improve the everyday challenges young people face. However, the low SES group in general expressed both more frustration and more agency, compared to the high SES group. This could be important to consider when planning school-based mental health promotion in different socioeconomic neighborhoods
Navigating the Contradictory Politics of being a Marginalised Migrant during Covid-19
This paper draws upon the theoretical literature on migration policy and health, and empirical data on three European states with differing welfare models – Sweden (social democrat), France (conservative), and the United Kingdom (liberal) – during Covid-19, to highlight the often hidden and contradictory politics through which refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented migrants were forced to navigate during the most uncertain period of the pande…
Exploring young people's experiences of race, gender and socioeconomic status in relation to everyday challenges
Reports indicate a decrease in youth mental health in Sweden but at the same time research suggests that what is interpreted as mental ill‐health could be considered everyday challenges by young people themselves. The distribution of mental health and illness among young people is uneven based on inequities related to factors such as race, gender and socioeconomic status. Sweden in particular is a country with large socioeconomic inequities in yo…
The Need for Parental Support for Migrant Parents in Transition Into Sweden
Migration is a stressful experience and research shows that newly arrived migrants in Sweden suffer from different challenges and struggle to relate to parenting in a new culture that is different from their own. The Swedish Child Health Services (CHS) focuses on promoting health among children, as well as supporting parents in parenting. Although this is a goal, migrant parents participate at lower rates in parental support groups. This paper ai…
Working With Refugees' Health During Covid-19—The Experience of Health- and Social Care Workers in Sweden
Introduction: In Sweden, often seen as one of the most egalitarian countries, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed high levels of health inequality, especially harming people with a refugee background. This is also despite Sweden's image as a refugee-friendly country. In this context, the aim of this paper is to better understand how Swedish health- and social workers have reacted to the health- and social needs of refugees during the pandemic. The Swed…
Social relations and mental ill-health among newly arrived refugees in Sweden
Background Previous research indicates that social relations have an impact on the well-being of refugees and that well-being is important for effective integration into the host country. Few studies in Sweden have, to the best of our knowledge, looked at the association between social relations and mental ill-health among newly arrived refugees. The aim is to investigate what effect social relations have on the mental health of newly arrived ref…
Policies on marginalized migrant communities during Covid-19
Migration management policies in many states have marginalized significant numbers of individuals on the basis of their precarious residency status, negatively impacting their health. This article looks at how three European states with high levels of contagion – France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom – adapted their migration management policies to the changed circumstances during the Covid 19 pandemic in which there was new pressure for priorit…
Antimicrobial Resistance & Migrants in Sweden
Infectious diseases exacerbated by Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) are of increasing concern in Sweden, with multi-drug resistant strains associated with new resistance mechanisms that are emerging and spreading worldwide. Existing research has identified that sub-optimal living conditions and poor access to healthcare are significant factors in the spread and incubation of AMR strains. The article considers this linkage and the effort to control …

Thus, this study sought to investigate the relationship between physical activity and wellbeing among refugees who were newly arrived in Sweden. Methods: The present study was based on the results from a survey, conducted in 2015–2016 amo…

Refugees in Sweden During the Covid-19 Pandemic—The Need for a New Perspective on Health and Integration
Refugees are already a vulnerable group in society and are in a stressful situation due to their often uncertain legal status in seeking asylum and integration in the new society after migration. Refugees are, in general, at greater risk of poor health outcomes when contracting Covid-19, exacerbated by poor living conditions and difficulties in accessing healthcare. The longer-term social consequences of the pandemic also disproportionately impac…
The Association Between Self-perceived Health and Sleep-Quality and Anxiety Among Newly Arrived Refugees in Sweden
Previous research findings suggest that insomnia could be related to decreased health status and that it could also be affected by traumatic life experiences, such as war. Good health is important for newly arrived refugees for an effective integration process. The aim of the present study is, therefore, to investigate the association between self-perceived health and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees in Sweden. The results are based on …
Refugees’ experiences of healthcare in the host country

Information about the refugees' experiences of the healthcare system…
Maternal educational level, parental preventive behavior, risk behavior, social support and medical care consumption in 8-month-old children in Malmö, Sweden
Children of less-educated mothers were exposed to more health risks, fewer health-promoting factors, worse social support, and had higher medical care consumption than children with higher educated mothers. After adjustment for parental behavioral factors the excess odds of doctor's visits and in-hospital care among children with less-educated mothers were reduced. Improving children's health calls for policies targeting parents' health-related b…
