Dear Colleagues,
In the past decade, numerous large cohort studies have been implemented, and many of these are currently in their recruitment phase. Most of these cohorts are population-based and contain a fraction of individuals with a migration background. Research on migrants has contributed to advances in the etiology of cancer and other diseases in the past. Some of the population-based cohorts are specifically planned at locations with a high proportion of migrants, while others are large enough to allow subgroup analyses on selected migrant groups and allow a comparison with the autochthonous population with respect to chronic disease risk, genetic predispositions, epigenetic aspects, preventive aspects including health literacy, healthcare research, and others.
This Special Issue of IJERPH focuses on research and experiences related to epidemiology and health care research with special emphasis on migrants. This may include a description of new challenges, approaches or instruments to assess health issues in migrant groups, pertinent results of cohort analyses, as well as evidence syntheses. Papers on participatory epidemiology in this field are also welcome.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers in social epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, public health, health care research, management, quality assurance, epidemiology, health economics, and other social sciences to submit high quality empirical papers or systematic reviews related to the issues in this research area.
