对移徙者问题敏感的流行病学研究经常遇到方法问题：各种研究对“移徙者”一词的定义存在差异，难以在研究参与者中确定移徙者，以及移徙者参与流行病学研究的比例低。因此，罗伯特·科赫研究所发起了一个项目，目的是制定标准，确保对移徙者敏感的流行病学研究，为数据收集和分析提供统一的框架，并使不同的数据来源具有可比性。理想情况下，应遵循以下标准：研究人群（包括移民）的全面定义，术语“移民”及其操作的标准化，移民在研究中的适当参与率，纳入移民特定主题和问题，以及移民特定无应答者分析，数据分析，结果报告和质量保证。我们概述了罗伯特·科赫研究所正在进行的研究中实施这些标准的现状，并提出了不需要大量额外财政资源的最低标准。
Migrant-sensitive epidemiological research often encounters methodological problems: differences among studies with regard to the definition of the term "migrant", difficulties in identifying migrants among the study participants and low participation rates of migrants in epidemiological studies. Therefore, a project has been initiated at the Robert Koch Institute with the aim of developing standards which ensure migrant-sensitive epidemiological research, provide a uniform framework for data collection and analysis, and make different data sources comparable. Ideally, the following standards should be followed: a comprehensive definition of the study population which includes migrants, standardisation of the term "migrant" and of its operationalization, adequate participation rates of migrants in the study, inclusion of migrant-specific topics and questions, and migrant-specific non-responder analysis, data analysis, reporting of results and quality assurance. We give an overview of the status quo of the implementation of the these standards in ongoing studies of the Robert Koch Institute and propose minimum standards, which do not require considerable additional financial resources.
