Report on the health status of newly arrived migrants and refugees in EU/EEA
Publication metadata
Funded by the Third EU Public Health Programme, Optimity Advisors, together with the European Public Health Alliance and the study experts Prof. Elisabetta De Vito and Dr Philipa Mladovsky, undertook this study on the health status of newly arrived migrants and refugees in the EU / EEA. The study had two main objectives: (i) to identify and evaluate the existing sources and data on the health conditions of newly arrived migrants and refugees to Europe since 2015; (ii) to assess the actual health status of the target population on the basis of selected sources of health information. The study relied on an extensive desk-based research exercise at international, EU and national level, a large-scale stakeholder consultation through online questionnaires and interviews across the 33 study countries to identify relevant data sources, as well as a workshop with key stakeholders from different Member States, through which 47 sources for potential inclusion were identified. Of those, 16 were included in the assessment of the health status of migrants. The study revealed that little to no systematic data collection of the health status of newly arrived migrants in the EU/EEA since 2015 is conducted. A comparison of available data is very difficult, if not impossible. A coordinated data collection effort across the EU would be useful to overcome the fragmented data.
