          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo Analizar cómo se mide el estatus migratorio en la población infantil y juvenil en la literatura científica sobre salud y desigualdades sociales en salud en Europa. Método Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de publicaciones entre 2007 y 2017 en PubMed y Social Sciences Citation Index, en español, inglés y francés. Se incluyeron artículos realizados en Europa en los que se analizaran la salud o las desigualdades sociales en salud de la población menor de 18 años según su origen migratorio. Se realizó una descripción de las variables usadas para la medición del estatus migratorio. Resultados Se incluyeron 50 artículos. Veinte estudios analizaban alguna variable de salud perinatal, once de salud mental, nueve de salud dental y diez de otras variables. Las principales variables para definir el estatus migratorio fueron el país de nacimiento (32 estudios), tanto del niño o la niña como de la madre o de alguno de los progenitores, y en ocasiones de forma complementaria. Menos frecuente fue la utilización de la nacionalidad (15 estudios) del niño o la niña, o de los progenitores, especialmente la materna. El estatus migratorio se denomina de muy diferentes maneras, no siempre equiparables, y en ocasiones no se explicita claramente la variable utilizada. Conclusiones Existe una gran diversidad de formas de medir el estatus migratorio en la población infantil y juvenil. Son necesarios una mejor definición y un consenso para mejorar la comparabilidad temporal y geográfica del conocimiento en esta área, que ayude al diseño de políticas públicas encaminadas a reducir las desigualdades sociales en salud desde la infancia.

          Abstract Objective To analyse how the migration status of the child and young population is measured in the scientific literature on health and social inequalities in health in Europe. Method A systematic search of the literature published in Spanish, English and French between 2007 and 2017 in PubMed and Social Sciences Citation Index was carried out. The included studies analysed health and social inequalities in health of a population under 18 years old according to its migration origin in Europe. The variables used to measure the migration status were described. Results 50 articles were included. Twenty studies analysed perinatal health, eleven mental health, nine dental health, and ten studies other variables. The main variables to define migration status were the country of birth (32 studies), either of the child, the mother, or one of the parents, and sometimes in a complementary way. Less frequent was the use of nationality (15 studies), of the child, or of the parents, especially the mother. Migration status is referred to in very different ways, not always comparable and sometimes the variable used is not clearly explained. Conclusions There is a great diversity of ways to measure migration status in the child and young population. A better definition and consensus is needed to improve the temporal and geographical comparability of knowledge in this area, which will help to design public policies aimed at reducing social inequalities in health from childhood.

          A typology of reviews: an analysis of 14 review types and associated methodologies.

          The expansion of evidence-based practice across sectors has lead to an increasing variety of review types. However, the diversity of terminology used means that the full potential of these review types may be lost amongst a confusion of indistinct and misapplied terms. The objective of this study is to provide descriptive insight into the most common types of reviews, with illustrative examples from health and health information domains. Following scoping searches, an examination was made of the vocabulary associated with the literature of review and synthesis (literary warrant). A simple analytical framework -- Search, AppraisaL, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA) -- was used to examine the main review types. Fourteen review types and associated methodologies were analysed against the SALSA framework, illustrating the inputs and processes of each review type. A description of the key characteristics is given, together with perceived strengths and weaknesses. A limited number of review types are currently utilized within the health information domain. Few review types possess prescribed and explicit methodologies and many fall short of being mutually exclusive. Notwithstanding such limitations, this typology provides a valuable reference point for those commissioning, conducting, supporting or interpreting reviews, both within health information and the wider health care domain.

            Migration and health in an increasingly diverse Europe.

            The share of migrants in European populations is substantial and growing, despite a slowdown in immigration after the global economic crisis. This paper describes key aspects of migration and health in Europe, including the scale of international migration, available data for migrant health, barriers to accessing health services, ways of improving health service provision to migrants, and migrant health policies that have been adopted across Europe. Improvement of migrant health and provision of access for migrants to appropriate health services is not without challenges, but knowledge about what steps need to be taken to achieve these aims is increasing.

              Migration-related health inequalities: showing the complex interactions between gender, social class and place of origin.

              In this paper, we briefly review theories and findings on migration and health from the health equity perspective, and then analyse migration-related health inequalities taking into account gender, social class and migration characteristics in the adult population aged 25-64 living in Catalonia, Spain. On the basis of the characterisation of migration types derived from the review, we distinguished between immigrants from other regions of Spain and those from other countries, and within each group, those from richer or poorer areas; foreign immigrants from low-income countries were also distinguished according to duration of residence. Further stratification by sex and social class was applied. Groups were compared in relation to self-assessed health in two cross-sectional population-based surveys, and in relation to indicators of socio-economic conditions (individual income, an index of material and financial assets, and an index of employment precariousness) in one survey. Social class and gender inequalities were evident in both health and socio-economic conditions, and within both the native and immigrant subgroups. Migration-related health inequalities affected both internal and international immigrants, but were mainly limited to those from poor areas, were generally consistent with their socio-economic deprivation, and apparently more pronounced in manual social classes and especially for women. Foreign immigrants from poor countries had the poorest socio-economic situation but relatively better health (especially men with shorter length of residence). Our findings on immigrants from Spain highlight the transitory nature of the 'healthy immigrant effect', and that action on inequality in socio-economic determinants affecting migrant groups should not be deferred.
