However, earlier studies have not explored the relationship between housing status and health for Latin individuals. This study examines 1) the health disparities between homeless and housed Hispanics in El Paso, Texas, and 2) the Hispanic health and homelessness paradoxes using an intersectional framework to understand health risks. A large number of Hispanic residents of El Paso (N = 1152) were surveyed. Demographic, health, and housing data were collected. We contribute to the literature by providing detailed health indicators for homeless Hispanics. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine health disparities between housed and homeless Hispanics. Bivariate analysis, as well as data coded from interviews, indicated that homeless Hispanics were more likely to have barriers to care, less likely to have health insurance, slightly more likely than housed Hispanics to experience mental illness, alcoholism, and addiction, and more likely to be underdiagnosed for health problems, including hypertension. This study shows how certain traditional methods for collecting health data, including self-rated health and reported diagnoses, can be ineffective at revealing health disparities. This paper calls for innovative, mixed-methods approaches to understand the social and structural determinants of health for marginalized populations.<br /><br /> Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and service utilization among female migrant domestic workers are under-studied. No studies to date have investigated the unique health vulnerabilities that affect female foreign domestic workers. The objective of this study was to investigate how stay-in and stay-out living conditions in domestic work may differentially affect SRH status, service utilization, and sexual risk behavior among female migrant domestic workers in Macao (SAR), China.<br /><br /> Data were analyzed from a cross-sectional survey conducted between November 2016 and August 2017 among 1368 female Filipina migrant domestic workers living and working in Macao. Participants were recruited through respondent-driven sampling. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess relationships between living context and outcomes of interest.<br /><br /> Domestic workers' living context (i.e. stay-in versus stay-out) was significantly related to sexual risk behavior patterns and SRH status and servicestay-out conditions within a foreign domestic worker population. This study further provides novel evidence of contextual factors (e.g. financial, employment, living conditions) that contribute to inequalities in SRH status and service utilization among Filipina migrant domestic workers. Results indicate that living context is significantly correlated with sexual risk behaviors, SRH status, and service utilization among domestic workers in Macao, highlighting the need to more effectively tailor specific interventions to meet female domestic workers' needs.<br /><br /> Migrants with insecure residency status (i.e., undocumented migrants and asylum-seekers, who are denied or waiting for authorized residency) often experience social and psychosocial adversities and limited access to health care. Nonetheless, they have not been profiled on the risk of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), a sentinel measure of maternal health and maternity care.<br /><br /> A cohort study on all births recorded in the Swedish Medical Birth Register from 2000-2014 (<br /><br /> =1,570,472). Lacking a maternal personal identification number was used as an indicator for insecure residency status (1.3% of all births). We used Poisson regression models to estimate risk ratios of SMM in migrant women with insecure residency status compared to the Swedish-born or migrant women with long-term residency, adjusting for the calendar year of birth, maternal age, and parity.<br /><br /> Overall SMM rate among migrant women with insecure residency status was 21.5/1000 and 14.7/1000 among Swedish-born women. Compared to Swedish-born, migrants with insecure residency status had 50% higher risk of overall SMM (adjusted risk ratio (aRR)=1.54 [1.37-1.74]) and over 80% higher risk of SMM excluding transfusion-only cases (aRR=1.88 [1.37-2.57]). When compared to migrant women with long-term residency, migrant women with insecure residency also had a higher risk of SMM (overall SMM aRR=1.42 [1.26,1.61]; SMM excluding transfusion only cases aRR=1.43 [1.04,1.97]), suggesting that insecure residency conferred additional risks of SMM beyond migration.<br /><br /> Migrant women with insecure residency status had increased risk of severe maternal morbidity.<br /><br />Migrant women with insecure residency status had increased risk of severe maternal morbidity.Migration to a new country generally entails a variety of social and economic adversities, often reflected in food practices. This paper aims to explore the hedonic dimension of well-being in a food context among a diasporic Syrian community in Stuttgart, Germany. A conceptual framework that integrates the three aspects of well-being (hedonic, psychological and social) with goals for food consumption (functional, symbolic and hedonic) was developed as a guide for the exploration. The research design used semi-structured interviews with 34 Syrian refugees and content-based analysis to obtain a detailed and profound understanding of the relational links between food and well-being. Findings reveal the affective and cognitive components of hedonic well-being and the overall perception of a good food-related life concerning food purchasing, preparation, eating and post-eating. Satisfaction in food-related life was found to be associated with food availability and accessibility, physical health and body functioning, positive emotions, sensory experience, social relationships and overall life satisfaction. The insights gained from this research help to elucidate the concept of food-related well-being in the case of conflict and displacement and to find strategies to promote the well-being of refugees.<br /><br /> Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) affects women and girls in multiple ways. During migration and within humanitarian settings, migrant women and girls are exposed to different forms of SGBV and to higher vulnerabilities compared with those men encounter. Survivors of this kind of violence face challenges in accessing healthcare for reasons that not only include legal status, language barriers, discrimination, misinformation on the availability of healthcare services, but also the growing spread of conservative views regarding sexual and reproductive health which pose a considerable threat to human rights. This study was guided by the question of how humanitarian emergency preparedness and response initiatives within four cities at the Colombo-Venezuelan border are addressing SGBV. The goal of this research was threefold first, to explain the level of implementation of the second goal of the MISP, which is to prevent and respond to the consequences of sexual violence; second, to assess the availabilityensive equity-oriented healthcare services; developing the skills and capacities of healthcare services professionals around the proper management of SGBV; and countering misinformation, lowering the stigma associated with migrants in host communities, and broadening migrant´s perceptions of SGBV, gender roles, and xenophobia.This study explores older Pakistani women's preferences and expectations of formal and informal care while ageing in Norway. Our study is based on qualitative interviews with older Pakistani women living in Oslo municipality, Norway. The participants were aged between 48 and 81 years and had been living in Norway for 26 to 46 years. Our analyses resulted in five themes 1) renegotiating the expectations of informal care in light of the 'nazaam' (or social system and practices) of Norway, 2) fear of being left behind in residential care homes, 3) disloyalty and shame of being cared for by outsiders, 4) perceptions about the quality of formal care and 5) concerns about mixing with other cultures and genders. Our findings point to potential barriers beyond culture that influence older Pakistani women's preferences for, expectations of and access to formal care services. The study further highlights the structural barriers that older Pakistani women perceive and experience in accessing formal care services in a majority society.<br /><br /> This study explored the phenomenological experiences of migrant care workers working in the formal long-term care setting in Japan and identified their stressors on caregiving.<br /><br /> We collected data using in-depth interviews among Filipino (<br /><br /> =21), Indonesian (<br /><br /> =6), and Vietnamese (<br /><br /> =4) migrant care workers. We conducted the interviews in either their native language or in Japanese. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. We analyzed the transcripts using thematic analysis. We used qualitative data analysis software NVivo 10<br /><br /> to code and manage the data.<br /><br /> Six key themes emerged that were related to stressors on caregiving. These include (1) coworker relationship, (2) language barrier, (3) work-life balance, (4) health concerns, (5) physical environment, and (6) patient relationship. Migrant care workers struggled with Kanji (Chinese characters) and verbal communication. Most of them shared having fatigue and chronic back pain. A few also mentioned about anxiety and depression. The low salary and heavy workload have made caregiving jobs unattractive to them. Workplace discrimination, patients' attitude, and a hostile work environment were part of their stressors at work.<br /><br /> This study is the first step in highlighting the current issues being faced by migrant care workers in Japan. The stressors were the identified psychosocial issues of migrant care workers. The Japanese government is suggested to amend their care work policy and provide psychosocial support explicitly tailored for migrant care workers.<br /><br />This study is the first step in highlighting the current issues being faced by migrant care workers in Japan.

This paper does not purport to be a comprehensive survey of the research literature; rather, we use examples to illustrate statistical points that we think are important.
