Forced migration, and resulting challenges relating to refugee health, are currently treated as highly exceptional, as a singularity. We postulate that this constitutes a socially as well as scientifically impoverished approach in two respects. Firstly, a singularity perspective may ultimately have adverse effects on the health of refugees because of the resulting ‘othering’ processes (e. g. exclusion, spatial separation) and further social marginalisation of forced migrants. Secondly, treating challenges related to refugee health as a singularity constitutes a missed opportunity for improving population health in general as it fails to realise an inherent analytical potential to identify broader deficiencies. In view of the diversity in Germany’s society today, refugee health can be interpreted as presenting an exacerbation and accumulation of factors that affect also other population subgroups, and ultimately – albeit to varying degrees – all members of society in Germany. In the PH-LENS Research Unit (RU), we will analyse two such factors, (i) contextual (small-area) effects on health; and (ii) challenges to the health system (which we analyse using the concept of health system resilience), as well as their interactions, from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. ‘Othering’ as an analytical perspective will serve as a key theoretical link between these factors. We aim to identify health inequalities related to these factors, determine the underlying pathways including societal exclusion processes, and formulate concepts and strategies for reducing them. By rejecting the singularity perspective, our results, both in terms of methodology and of scientific content, will be applicable more broadly to public health in Germany’s increasingly diverse society. This innovative concept clearly stands out from the work of many on-going refugee health projects.The sub-project COOREQ will coordinate the overall cooperation of all other sub-projects in PH-LENS (beyond activities such as working papers that individual sub-projects jointly produce). COOREQ will facilitate an iterative synthesis of research findings across sub-projects and disciplines through organising (i) data sharing within the RU; and (ii) a series of dedicated joint project meetings and workshops, including a conference with input from international experts. Moreover, COOREQ will ensure that equity measures are implemented and that young researchers are supported in the RU. COOREQ is thus crucial for ensuring that the added value of the PH-LENS RU – beyond the achievements of the individual sub-projects – will be realised.

被迫移徙以及由此产生的与难民健康有关的挑战，目前被视为极为特殊的情况。我们假设这在两个方面构成了社会和科学上的贫困方法。首先，单一性的观点可能最终对难民的健康产生不利影响，因为由此产生的“他者”过程（例如：G.排斥、空间隔离）和被迫移徙者的进一步社会边缘化。第二，将与难民健康有关的挑战视为一个单一问题，这就错失了改善总体人口健康的机会，因为它未能实现内在的分析潜力，以查明更广泛的缺陷。鉴于当今德国社会的多样性，难民健康问题可以被解释为各种因素的加剧和积累，这些因素也影响到其他人口亚群，并最终-尽管程度不同-影响到德国的所有社会成员。在PH-LENS研究单位（RU），我们将分析两个这样的因素，（一）上下文（小面积）对健康的影响;和（二）卫生系统的挑战（我们使用卫生系统弹性的概念进行分析），以及它们的相互作用，从真正的跨学科的角度来看。“他者”作为一个分析视角，将成为这些因素之间的关键理论联系。我们的目标是确定与这些因素相关的健康不平等，确定包括社会排斥过程在内的潜在途径，并制定减少这些因素的概念和战略。通过拒绝奇点的角度来看，我们的结果，无论是在方法和科学内容方面，将更广泛地适用于公共卫生在德国的日益多样化的社会。这一创新概念明显地突出于许多正在进行的难民保健项目的工作，分项目COOKIE将协调PH-LENS中所有其他分项目的全面合作（除了个别分项目联合编写工作文件等活动之外）。COOKIE将通过组织（i）RU内部的数据共享，以及（ii）一系列专门的联合项目会议和研讨会，包括国际专家参与的会议，促进跨子项目和学科研究成果的迭代综合。此外，COO将确保公平措施的实施，并在RU支持年轻的研究人员。因此，COOKIE对于确保PH-LENS RU的附加值-超越单个子项目的成就-将被实现至关重要。
