Pediatric Migrant Health in Europe

About this Priority Setting Partnership 

Children, adolescents and families with migration experiences face unique and often daunting challenges when navigating the healthcare systems in Europe. From specific healthcare needs resulting from their migration journey, to language barriers and unfamiliar healthcare processes, they are often at a disadvantage when it comes to receiving the needed care. Research to address these challenges is essential to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, receives the best possible healthcare. 

This PSP wants to hear about your thoughts and experiences in the first Mi-CARE Survey by clicking on this link https://www.research.net/r/XPF5XKH 

Your input will help the PSP understand the most pressing healthcare needs for migrant children and guide future research.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes only 5 to 15 minutes to complete. The PSP is gathering valuable insights from people with experience in healthcare systems across Europe, focusing on the experiences and healthcare needs of migrant children and teenagers, as well as thoughts on what improvements are needed to enhance their care.

There is also a flyer that you can download and print, to use in places like asylum centers, hospitals, community centers, schools, libraries, or anywhere you think it could reach families and children who may have valuable insights to share with us through the survey.

Currently, the flyer is available in English, German, and French. If you need it in other languages, feel free to reach out to the PSP at micare.psp@gmail.com.  Do use this link to get in touch if you would like to hear more about the PSP in future. 

Thank you so much for your support! 

The PSP is led by the Migrant Child & Adolescent health - Research in Europe (Mi-CARE) Steering Group: a group of 14 healthcare professionals and people with lived experience of migration from diverse backgrounds and countries around the world. Through our research and initiatives, including this survey, we aim to improve healthcare for migrant children and adolescents across Europe.
