Partnering With Caregivers and Clinicians to Determine Research Priorities in Pediatric Migrant Health

What are the most important unanswered research priorities to improve health care for children and adolescents with migration experience in Europe? In this survey study using a multiphase participatory process, more than 500 participants, including migrant caregivers, former migrant children, and clinicians, across 32 countries, identified their top 10 research priorities. These priorities addressed health care access, discrimination and racism, health effects of migration, social determinants of health, needs of at-risk populations (unaccompanied or undocumented minors, children with medical complexity), and family involvement in care. These stakeholder-driven priorities provide a framework to guide future research, policy, and practice to improve pediatric migrant health in Europe.
