 | Abstract |
The objectives of this sub-project are to provide a list of data and indicators on health care utilization and self-perceived health among migrants from non-Western countries in Europe.
- The objectives will be achieved through the following steps:
- In cooperation with the collaborating partners and Eurostat, existing data sources (registers, surveys and other sources) concerning the health care utilization and self-perceived health of different migrant groups will be identified.
- A number of criteria for the selection of potential comparable measures of health care utilization and self-perceived health of different migrant groups will be identified.
- Measures of health care utilization and self-perceived health will be selected.
- The measures will be validated and assessed (including feasibility) for migrants in selected countries.
- The validated measures based on relevant data sources will be presented in order to describe migrants' utilization of health care services and self-perceived health in selected countries.
