Migration and Health synopsis

The study of immigrant populations poses unique challenges because of the movement of these groups, which may be complex because of their cultural, educational, linguistic and legal diversity. These barriers limit the feasibility of routine sampling methods and routine public health surveillance systems.

Given that nearly one out of every seven people in the immigrant world, appropriate methodologies should be designed and implemented to capture health data from these populations. This effort is particularly important because migrants often suffer from disparities in access to care, infectious diseases, occupational injuries, mental health outcomes and other health conditions.

This pioneering resource is the first of its kind to address many of the unique issues that arise when studying immigrant communities. It provides a comprehensive description of quantitative and qualitative methodologies for use when working with migrant populations.

By providing information and practical tools, the authors fill existing gaps in research methods and enhance opportunities to address the health and social inequalities faced by migrant populations in the United States and around the world.
