Digital Competence of Arabic-Speaking Immigrant and Refugee Older Adults Enacting Agency and Navigating Barriers: Qualitative Descriptive Study

Digital Competence of Arabic-Speaking Immigrant and Refugee Older Adults Enacting Agency and Navigating Barriers: Qualitative Descriptive Study

Improving digital access and competence is one strategy to support healthy aging in migrant populations. Canada continues to welcome high numbers of immigrants and refugees, with an increasing percentage from Arabic-speaking countries [27]. Younger cohorts of immigrants demonstrate high levels of proficiency in using technologies to adapt within postmigration contexts [28-30].

Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Digital Health Literacy in Forced Migrant Populations: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review

However, to our knowledge, there is limited literature on interventions favorable to the digital health literacy of forced migrant populations, which underscores the interest in a research protocol for a mixed methods systematic review. The overall aim of the systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving digital health literacy among forced migrant populations.

Overcoming Language Barriers in Paramedic Care With an App Designed to Improve Communication With Foreign-Language Patients: Nonrandomized Controlled Pilot Study

Other studies highlighted that migrant patients are less often satisfied with emergency care and that EMS lack cultural sensitivity [27,28]. Patient-centered outcomes and patients’ satisfaction were not considered in this study, and measuring paramedics’ perceptions is prone to potential bias.

Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic to Improve the Health, Social Care, and Well-being of Minoritized Ethnic Groups With Chronic Conditions or Impairments: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Intersectionality conceptualizes the ways an individual’s social interactions are shaped by their multiple subject positions (eg, as a female, recent migrant, disabled person). The social ecological model [33,34] highlights the ways this individual is positioned at the center of a system of mutually influencing sets of social determinants, incorporating their personal, community, regional, and national (policy and society) ecosystems of norms and practices.

The Evaluation of a Social Media Campaign to Increase COVID-19 Testing in Migrant Groups: Cluster Randomized Trial

The Evaluation of a Social Media Campaign to Increase COVID-19 Testing in Migrant Groups: Cluster Randomized Trial

Several migrant groups have been disproportionally affected by COVID-19 in Norway [1,2]. These groups are also considered difficult to reach through traditional communication platforms [3,4]. Adapting, translating, and targeting communication to ensure equal access to information regardless of health literacy and language skills, is an important part of crisis communication.

HIV Surveillance and Research for Migrant Populations: Protocol Integrating Respondent-Driven Sampling, Case Finding, and Medicolegal Services for Venezuelans Living in Colombia

Data from other studies show that migrant populations, regardless of the situation or motivation for migration, often face delays to care and have higher risk of AIDS-defining events than nonmigrant populations [14]. Treatment interruptions, including partial or intermittent treatment, can lead to virologic rebound and increase the risk of onward transmission and acquired resistance [2].

However, for the purpose of this article, the term “migrant” will be used when referring to asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants, as a whole; it will apply only to those who have moved across international borders.
