The study of migrant populations poses unique challenges owing to the
mobility of these groups, which may be further complicated by cultural,
educational, and linguistic diversity as well as the legal status of
their members. These barriers limit the usefulness of both traditional
survey sampling methods and routine public health surveillance systems.
Since nearly 1 in 7 people in the world is a migrant, appropriate
methodological approaches must be designed and implemented to capture
health data from populations. This effort is particularly important
because migrant populations, in comparison to other populations,
typically suffer disparities related to limited access to health care,
greater exposure to infectious diseases, more occupational injuries, and
fewer positive outcomes for mental health and other health conditions.
This path-breaking handbook is the first to engage with the many unique
issues that arise in the study of migrant communities. It offers a
comprehensive description of quantitative and qualitative methodologies
useful in work with migrant populations. By providing information and
practical tools, the editors fill existing gaps in research methods and
enhance opportunities to address the health and social disparities
migrant populations face in the United States and around the world.
