7th Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health

说明(申请人提供)：尽管移徙与健康的主题在过去十年中越来越受到关注，但学者、卫生专业人员、研究人员和其他主要利益攸关方仍需要就移徙对健康的影响进行进一步和深入的培训和教育，以提供信息并制定有效和高效的健康干预措施。有必要进行深入的分析，以全面了解移民和健康，包括他们的护理障碍、健康的文化视角、疾病和风险以及寻求健康的行为。自2006年以来，加州大学伯克利分校公共卫生学院的美洲健康倡议(HIA)与合作机构一起，每年举办一次移民与全球健康夏季研究所，从国际和多学科的角度向研究人员、卫生专业人员和学生提供关于移民和健康的循证信息。今年的夏季移民与全球卫生研究所将采用一种新的方法，采取研究培训、基础设施和职业发展的方法。通过在移徙和卫生领域由公认的国家和国际专家讲授的讲座和讲习班以及实地访问相结合的方式 会议将向当地卫生中心传播研究结果、基于证据的信息、研究方法和工具，向移民和健康领域的卫生提供者、研究人员和学生传播，以扩大研究并促进美国低收入移民人口的有效健康干预。夏季学院的总体目标是提高卫生专业人员、研究人员和学生对移民和健康主题的认识和增加知识，以促进对文化敏感和有效的干预措施和公共政策，从而增加低收入移民人口获得和利用优质和高效卫生服务的机会和利用率。这一目标将通过以下目标实现：1)使卫生保健专业人员掌握移民人口特有的知识和工具，以提高美国流动人口中服务的质量、交付和有效性；2)培养年轻学者开展研究的能力，并将他们的学术成果转化为有助于移民与卫生领域的公共政策建议；以及3)在从事移民与卫生工作的组织和个人之间交流信息并建立伙伴关系。完成暑期学院课程后，我们的目标是让与会者掌握与美国服务不足人群合作的最佳实践和战略，以及实现更大影响的合作伙伴关系和工具。 与公共卫生的相关性：许多研究表明，移徙和公共卫生有着错综复杂的联系，这种经历本身就给移徙的人带来了一系列的身体和心理风险，特别是那些资源匮乏的人。然而，移徙本身并不完全导致健康状况不佳；移徙过程的压力以及移徙者在东道国面临的排斥和不平等往往加剧了健康风险并威胁到他们的生计。在移徙和公共卫生领域，必须更好地为卫生研究人员、卫生专业人员和政策制定者做好准备，以提高卫生保健的质量、安全、效率和有效性 人口。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While the topic of migration and health has gained increasing interest in the past decade, it is still an area where academics, health professionals, researchers and other key stakeholders require further and in-depth training and education on the implications of migration on health to inform and create effective and efficient health interventions. An in-depth analysis is necessary to understand the full spectrum around migration and health, including their barriers to care, cultural perspectives of health, illness an risk, and health seeking behaviors. Since 2006, the Health Initiative of the Americas (HIA), an organization of UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, along with collaborating institutions have held an annual Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health to provide evidence-based information on migration and health from an international and multidisciplinary perspective to researchers, health professionals, and students. This year's Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health will apply a new method by taking a research training, infrastructure and career development approach. Through a combination of lectures and workshops taught by highly recognized national and international experts in the field of migration and health, and site visits to local health centers, the conference will disseminate research findings, evidence-based information, and research methodologies and tools to health providers, researchers, and students in the field of migration and health to expand research and facilitate effective health interventions among low-income migrant populations in the U.S. The overarching goal of the Summer Institute is to raise awareness and increase knowledge around topics of migration and health among health professionals, researchers, and students to facilitate culturally sensitive and effective interventions and public policies that will increase access to and utilization of quality and efficient health services among low-income immigrant populations. This goal will be achieved through the following objectives 1) equip health care professionals with knowledge and tools specific to immigrant populations to improve the quality, delivery, and effectiveness of services among mobile populations in the U.S., 2) build the capacity of young scholars to carry out research and translate their academic findings into public policy recommendations that contribute to the field of migration and health, and 3) to exchange information and build partnerships among organizations and individuals working on migration and health. Upon completing the Summer Institute, it is our goal that attendees will be armed with information on best practices and strategies for working with underserved populations in the U.S., and the partnerships and tools to achieve a greater impact. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Numerous studies show that migration and public health are intricately connected, with the experience itself presenting a series of physical and psychological risks to those who migrate, especially those with few resources. However, migration, in and of itself, does not exclusively lead to poor health; it is the stress of the migration process and often the exclusions and inequities that migrants face in their host country that exacerbates the risks to health and threatens their livelihood. It is essential to beter prepare health researchers, health professionals, and policy makers in areas of migration and public health to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for this population.
