Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND Overweight and obese children are at a heightened risk of adult-onset health complications including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and psychosocial complications. These disorders can begin in childhood, which increases the likelihood of early morbidity and mortality. In parallel, over the past two decades, the global population of refugees has grown substantially. OBJECTIVES Given the rapid increase of refugee populations in Canada, it is important to understand how obesity and overweight patterns for refugee children and youth differ from those of native-born populations. To date, no review has comprehensively documented weight gain trends and risk factors in paediatric refugee populations. DESIGN/METHODS A scoping review of the literature was conducted using Medline, CINAHL, and EMBASE for publications in English from August 1991 to April 2017. A total of 11 articles were identified relating to prevalence and risk factors for becoming overweight/obese in refugee children and youth aged 0 to 18 years old after arrival in a high-income setting. RESULTS Paediatric refugees were at increased risk of rapid weight gain after migration. After living in a HIC for 1.5 to 9 years, refugee children demonstrated a prevalence of obesity that ranged from 1.4 to 21%. The prevalence of overweight children and youth ranged from 5.7 to 22.8%. Refugee children and youth had a steeper increase in their BMI compared with non-refugees (P < 0.001). Younger children (< 2 years) experienced an increase in BMI at a slower rate (P = 0.002) than older children and youth. A longer length of stay in HICs was associated with an increase in BMI percentile among refugee children. Populations of Eastern European, African, and Middle Eastern ethnic backgrounds demonstrated a higher risk of becoming overweight/obese in comparison to other paediatric refugees or non-refugee children. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates that despite methodological differences between the 11 included studies, 6 of them consistently demonstrate a direct relationship between increased BMI and length of residence in HICs among refugee children. Multiple studies (n=7) emphasize the need for culturally tailored prevention strategies including timely orientation to nutrition in HICs. Preventing the development of obesity among refugee children is crucial for reducing the short and long-term health consequences associated with childhood obesity.

Abstract:
Reviews of research have provided insights into the digital media production practices of youth in and out of school. Although such practices hold promise for the language and literacy education of refugee-background youth, no review has yet integrated findings across studies and different digital media production practices to explore this promise. This scoping review summarizes and discusses the key findings from research on varied types of digital media produced specifically by refugee-background youth in and out of school. It situates digital media production practices in the context of this diverse population, which experiences forced migration, and highlights 5 main themes from findings in 42 reviewed articles. Digital media production afforded refugee-background youth: (1) Ownership of representations across time and space; (2) opportunity to expand, strengthen, or maintain social networks; (3) identity work; (4) visibility and engagement with audiences; and (5) communication and embodied learning through multimodal literacies.

Abstract:
Abstract Primary Subject area Global Child and Youth Health Background The current refugee crisis is described as the largest humanitarian crisis of all time. Refugees often face psychosocial complexity and multi-dimensional healthcare needs. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methods have been previously employed successfully in designing health programs for refugee children, youth and their families, and in building strong research partnerships in refugee communities. Objectives To review the evidence in the involvement of refugee adults, youth and children in CBPR processes. Design/Methods A scoping review was performed, using Arksey & O’Malley’s methodological framework. A literature search in Medline, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase and Scopus for articles published until August 2020 was conducted. Articles were included if they focused on CBPR or Participatory Action Research as the methodological framework, had refugee involvement and discussed healthcare and health policy. Data extracted included ethno-racial data, country of origin, purpose of CBPR, refugee CBPR involvement and its influence on health care research and policy. Results 4125 articles were identified in the database searches. After removal of duplicates, 2077 articles underwent title and abstract review by two authors, yielding a kappa-statistic of 0.85. Fourteen studies were included in the final analysis. Of these, 35.7% (5/14) included refugee children/youth in their CBPR methods. The purpose of the CBPR methods for 60% (3/5) of the articles focused on mental health promotion-related strategies. The other 40% (2/5) of articles focused on reproductive health. Eighty percent (4/5) of the studies included refugees in the inception of the research problem and in knowledge translation efforts, whereas none were involved in seeking funding. All studies included refugee participants in the study design and engaging community/recruitment. However, there were varying degrees of involvement of refugees in the data analysis (40%, 2/5), knowledge translation (40%, 2/5) and scale up (20%, 1/5). All studies did not distinguish between the level of CBPR involvement of children and adolescents. Conclusion There is scarce literature describing the involvement of refugee children, youth and their families in research. CBPR has been identified as a methodology with the potential to make substantial contributions to improving health and well-being in traditionally disenfranchised population groups. As the needs of refugee communities are so diverse, efforts should be made to include refugees in all stages of the research process. This scoping review demonstrates that levels of involvement in CBPR processes amongst refugee children, youth and adults may not be differentiated, and as such, may conflate their needs and experiences. Barriers to full participation in research processes should be examined further in order to eliminate health disparities and build capacity amongst refugee communities.

Abstract:
Background: Young refugees are at increased risk of labor market marginalization (LMM). We sought to examine whether the association of multimorbidity patterns and LMM differs in refugee youth compared to Swedish-born youth and identify the diagnostic groups driving this association. Methodology: We analyzed 249,245 individuals between 20–25 years, on 31 December 2011, from a combined Swedish registry. Refugees were matched 1:5 to Swedish-born youth. A multimorbidity score was computed from a network of disease co-occurrences in 2009–2011. LMM was defined as disability pension (DP) or >180 days of unemployment during 2012–2016. Relative risks (RR) of LMM were calculated for 114 diagnostic groups (2009–2011). The odds of LMM as a function of multimorbidity score were estimated using logistic regression. Results: 2841 (1.1%) individuals received DP and 16,323 (6.5%) experienced >180 annual days of unemployment during follow-up. Refugee youth had a marginally higher risk of DP (OR (95% CI): 1.59 (1.52, 1.67)) depending on their multimorbidity score compared to Swedish-born youth (OR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.48, 1.54)); no differences were found for unemployment (OR (95% CI): 1.15 (1.12, 1.17), 1.12 (1.10, 1.14), respectively). Diabetes mellitus and influenza/pneumonia elevated RR of DP in refugees (RRs (95% CI) 2.4 (1.02, 5.6) and 1.75 (0.88, 3.45), respectively); most diagnostic groups were associated with a higher risk for unemployment in refugees. Conclusion: Multimorbidity related similarly to LMM in refugees and Swedish-born youth, but different diagnoses drove these associations. Targeted prevention, screening, and early intervention strategies towards specific diagnoses may effectively reduce LMM in young adult refugees.

Abstract:
Background Young people with refugee experiences are widely acknowledged as encountering multiple disadvantages that affect their school completion and retention, university entry, and subsequent employment. This paper discusses the rationale for and protocol of a mixed methods investigation focusing on improving education and employment outcomes among refugee background youth aged 15 to 24 years from three focus regions: the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria), South Asia (Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar/Burma, Pakistan) and Africa (Sudan, South Sudan, Liberia, Ethiopia, Somalia, DR Congo). Objective The rationale of the project is to identify the facilitators and barriers to successful transition from school to further education and employment; investigate participant awareness of support systems available when faced with education and employment difficulties; redress the disadvantages encountered by refugee background youth; and bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice in relation to social inclusion and participation. Methods The study involves collecting survey data from 600 youth followed by individual interviews with a subset of 60 youth, their parents/primary caregivers, and their teachers. A cross-sectional survey will assess facilitators and barriers to successful transition from school to further education and employment. Individual interviews will provide context-rich data on key issues relevant to education and employment outcomes. Results The study began in 2016 and is due for completion by the end of 2019. The quantitative survey has been conducted with 635 participants and was closed in March 2019. The qualitative interview stage is ongoing, and the current total in April 2019 is 93 participants including educators, youth, and family members of the youth. Analysis and presentation of results will be available in 2020. Some preliminary findings will be available during the late half of 2019. Conclusions This project will contribute new and unique insights to knowledge in relation to key factors influencing education and employment outcomes among refugee youth. This research will enable effective planning for the needs of some of Australia’s most disadvantaged and marginalized young people, leading to a sustainable improvement in the education and employability of young refugees.

Abstract:
Sports participation can confer a range of physical and psychosocial benefits and, for refugee and migrant youth, may even act as a critical mediator for achieving positive settlement and engaging meaningfully in Australian society. This group has low participation rates however, with identified barriers including costs; discrimination and a lack of cultural sensitivity in sporting environments; lack of knowledge of mainstream sports services on the part of refugee-background settlers; inadequate access to transport; culturally determined gender norms; and family attitudes. Organisations in various sectors have devised programs and strategies for addressing these participation barriers. In many cases however, these responses appear to be ad hoc and under-theorised. This article reports findings from a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a range of settings to examine the benefits, challenges and shortcomings associated with different participation models. Interview participants were drawn from non-government organisations, local governments, schools, and sports clubs. Three distinct models of participation were identified, including short term programs for refugee-background children; ongoing programs for refugee-background children and youth; and integration into mainstream clubs. These models are discussed in terms of their relative challenges and benefits and their capacity to promote sustainable engagement and social inclusion for this population group.

Abstract:
Background Urban refugee youth may live in social contexts characterized by structural drivers of HIV such as poverty and violence. Knowledge gaps remain regarding HIV testing practices among urban refugee youth, despite the increasing trend toward refugee settlement in urban contexts. This study examined social contextual factors associated with lifetime HIV testing among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda. Methods We conducted a community-based study with a peer-recruited cohort of urban refugee youth aged 16–24 years living in Kampala’s informal settlements, and present baseline cross-sectional findings. We conducted descriptive statistics and logistic regression to examine socio-demographic (e.g., gender and age), material (e.g., income insecurity and education), relational (e.g., social support), and symbolic contexts (e.g., HIV-related stigma and intimate partner violence (IPV]) associated with lifetime HIV testing. Results Participants ( n = 450) had a mean age of 20.4 years (standard deviation: 2.4 years), most lived in Uganda for 1–5 years (53.2%), and less than half reported lifetime HIV testing (43.4%). In multivariable analyses, odds of lifetime HIV testing were higher among youth with secondary school education or higher (adjusted odds ratio (aOR]: 2.30, 95% confidence interval (CI]: 1.27–4.17), currently employed (aOR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.03–3.10), and reporting IPV (aOR: 3.61, 95% CI: 1.43–9.10). Having children was marginally associated with HIV testing (aOR: 2.17, 95% CI: 0.98–4.81, p = 0.052). Conclusions Findings demonstrate suboptimal HIV testing and the importance of tailored strategies to reach urban refugee youth who are unemployed and have limited formal education. There is a need to meaningfully engage urban refugee youth to create enabling environments for sexual health.

Abstract:
Background: In less time than it takes to read this sentence, someone somewhere in the world will be forcibly displaced. With exponential increases in displacement likely to continue, research into the resettlement experiences and mental health of forcibly displaced people is essential. There is an abundance of research pertaining to the mental health and wellbeing of refugee populations and research that investigates societal attitudes towards refugees. However, there is a little research on the direct impacts of societal attitudes on the mental health and wellbeing of those from a refugee-like background, particularly young people. Method: This scoping review seeks to systematically explore the academic and grey literature around both positive and negative societal attitudes in host countries, and the subsequent positive and negative impacts on young people from a refugee-like background. The search strategy consists of synonyms for the four basic constructs (youth, displaced people, mental health, attitudes). Six scholarly databases and grey literature will be searched. To be included in the Review, papers must study the affective component of attitudes in host countries, as well as reporting on the mental health impacts on young people from a refugee-like background. Findings will be thematically analysed using NVivo and presented in the full Scoping Review.

Abstract:
Forced displacement of refugees, currently at record levels, leads to increased cultural diversity in many countries with benefits and challenges for individuals, communities, and societies. Refugees often face significant stressors both pre- and post-migration, and hence are at increased risk of poor mental health and wellbeing. Children and adolescents make up a significant proportion of refugees globally, and hence mental health supports for these young people are crucial. Current mental health research often uses pathologized approaches that focus on trauma, although there is growing literature highlighting the importance of a sense of belonging and the reduction in discrimination and social exclusion, emphasizing strengths and agency of individuals and communities. Resilience is often noted for its positive influence on mental health and wellbeing; however, research regarding how mechanisms of resilience function is still developing. This study investigated mental health and wellbeing of refugee-background Australian youth to better understand the role and function of resilience. Findings suggest that intersecting social ecologies, such as those within family, school, or community networks, contribute to development of identity and a sense of belonging for youth, which together form a resilient system that provides resources for wellbeing. Adaptations of school policy and practice can support positive mental health and wellbeing outcomes by contributing to and developing resilient environments, such as through building connections to family, improving positive recognition of cultural identity for individuals and across the whole school community, and actively working to minimize discrimination.
