abstract: 'Objective: This paper examines whether Australian regional primary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health care organisations - in this case, Medicare Locals (MLs) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Primary Health Networks (PHNs) - have engaged with migrant and refugee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health, and what factors encourage work in this area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: The study used mixed methods with surveys of ML (N=210) and PHN
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
staff (N=66), interviews with ML (N=50) and PHN (N=55) staff, national
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consultations with migrant and refugee organisations (N=8 groups with 62
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants), and analysis of ML and PHN documents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Needs assessment documents identified migrant and refugee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health issues in 46\% of MLs and 74\% of PHNs. However, 48\% of MLs and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
55\% of PHNs did not report any activities on migrant health, and 78\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 62\% did not report any activities for refugees, respectively. Key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors identified by participants as associated with whether ML and PHN
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
focus on migrant and refugee health were the determination of local
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
priority areas, policy context and funding, collaboration with migrant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and refugee organisations and communities, and mechanisms for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engagement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Despite the importance of primary health care for migrants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and refugees, there was relatively little attention paid to these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population groups in MLs and PHNs, with a small number of notable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions.'
