The policy and politics of migrants and health: European view
2018
O que sabemos hoje, quais as lacunas na compreensão do problema e quais as perspetivas futuras? Nas últimas décadas, os países Europeus têm-se confrontado com um aumento dos fluxos migratórios, tornando a migração um fenómeno comum e em sociedades cada vez mais diversificadas. No contexto do processo migratório, as populações migrantes e refugiadas confrontam-se, no país de acolhimento, com um novo contexto social, cultural e linguístico. Por outro lado, a atual complexidade deste processo decorre, também, de uma população migrante heterogénea, com diferentes características e necessidades em saúde. A migração coloca importantes desafios para a saúde, relativamente aos determinantes sociais…

Obstacles to intergroup contact: When outgroup partner's anxiety meets perceived ethnic discrimination
2013
Emerging research suggests that outgroup partner's anxiety can disrupt intergroup rapport-building. This study extends previous findings by investigating the interactive effects of anticipated outgroup partner's anxiety and perceived ethnic discrimination on self-anxiety and intergroup contact avoidance. A sample of immigrant adolescents belonging to different ethnic minorities in Italy (N = 118) was considered. Results showed that when participants expected to interact with an anxious outgroup (Italian) versus in-group partner, self-anxiety increased and, as a consequence, their intentions to avoid future encounters. However, these effects were observed only for participants with higher (v…
Colorectal cancer stage at diagnosis in migrants versus non-migrants (KoMigra) : study protocol of a cross-sectional study in Germany
2014
Background: In Germany, about 20% of the total population have a migration background. Differences exist between migrants and non-migrants in terms of health care access and utilisation.
