Conceptualisation and empirical studies of Othering in public health and health care (OTHER)

OTHER子项目包括两个免费的工作包（WP），以难民为例分析公共卫生研究和医疗保健中的“他者”过程。WP 1为公共卫生中的“他者”制定了（1）理论，（2）医学分析和（3）概念方法。理论方法（1）是基于后殖民，社会心理学和交叉的方法来“他者”，并旨在扩大系统化的“他者”。理论基础将与分项目EMPOW合作反复发展，并为PROREF编写访谈指南和解释经验结果提供服务。对“他者”的分析方法（2）是基于对公共卫生和“他者”的全面文献检索以及对关于“移民和难民的健康”的公共卫生论述的经验分析。语篇分析侧重于差异性和归属感在多样性和文化多样性语境中的构建。这项工作的理论和分析结果将支持在DEPRIV中为难民提供住宿的“他者”机制的概念类型学的设计。发展一个经验上适用的“他者”概念，最终构成了“他者”的概念进路（3）。第二个工作包以及PH-LENS研究单元的所有其他子项目的经验结果将被实施到“他者”的概念中。这将通过与LARGE、TREAT、NEXUS和PROREF的反复合作来促进。在准备过程中，将对以前收集的关于对难民态度的数据进行重新分析（1）。在此基础上，结合第一套工作的理论成果，并与ENSURE和PROREF密切合作，将编写一份案例简介研究报告（2），以衡量难民与非难民区别对待中表现的定型观念和偏见。这项研究将通过与ENSURE一起编写的另一项基于网络的研究（2）得到补充。这项研究将侧重于衡量偏见和由此产生的“他者化”过程。根据研究结果，本研究将发展一套“他者”（3）的测量工具，以供日后在公共卫生及医疗保健范畴应用。透过整理及扩展理论基础，发展一套可应用于经验的“他者”概念，以及应用创新的经验分析，OTHER为更好地理解“他者”与健康不平等之间的联系做出了重要贡献。

The sub-project OTHER consists of two complimentary work packages (WP) that deal with the analysis of ‘othering’ processes in public health research and health care using the example of refugees.WP 1 develops a (1) theoretical, (2) empirical-analytical, and (3) conceptual approach to ‘othering’ in public health. The theoretical approach (1) is based on postcolonial, social psychological and intersectional approaches to ‘othering’ and aims at an extended systematisation of ‘othering’. The theoretical foundations will be developed iteratively in collaboration with the sub-project EMPOW and also serve PROREF in preparing interview guidelines and interpreting empirical results. The empirical-analytical approach (2) to ‘othering’ is based on a comprehensive literature search on public health and ‘othering’ as well as empirical analysis of the public health discourse on “health of migrants and refugees”. The discourse analysis focuses on constructions of difference and belonging in the context of diversity and cultural variety. The theoretical and analytical results from this work package will support the design of a conceptual typology of ‘othering’ mechanisms in the accommodation of refugees in DEPRIV. The development of an empirically applicable concept of ‘othering’ finally constitutes the conceptual approach (3) to ‘othering’. Empirical results from the second work package as well as all other sub-projects of the PH-LENS research unit will be implemented into this conceptualisation of ‘othering’. This will be facilitated through an iterative collaboration with LARGE, TREAT, NEXUS, and PROREF.WP 2 conducts several empirical studies to analyse ‘othering’ processes in rehabilitative and obstetric care for refugees. In preparation, a re-analysis (1) of previously collected data regarding the attitudes towards refugees will be performed. On this basis, incorporating the theoretical results from the first work package, and in close collaboration with ENSURE and PROREF, a case vignette-study (2) to measure stereotypes and prejudice expressing in the differential treatment of refugees vs. non-refugees will be developed. This study will be complemented through another web-based study (2) that will be prepared together with ENSURE. The study will focus on the measurement of prejudice and resulting ‘othering’ processes. On the basis of the produced results, an measurement instrument for ‘othering’ (3) will be developed for future application within the context of public health and health care.By compiling and extending the theoretical basis, the development of an empirically applicable ‘othering’ concept as well as the application of innovative empirical analyses, OTHER makes an important contribution to better understanding the link of ‘othering’ and health inequalities.
