Abstract |
The number of vulnerable migrants in Canada is on the rise. While debates on immigration policies have been at the forefront, there has been little dialogue regarding the health and well-being of refugees, asylum-seekers and non-status migrants despite the significant health inequities that these populations face. In this context, health research that aims to understand migrants' realities, develop appropriate health and social services and policies, and empower these populations, is needed more than ever. Participatory action research (PAR) is one approach for conducting relevant and empowering research with migrants, however it remains underutilized due to inadequate funding, infrastructure and support. PAR addresses real-life challenges, emphasizes collaboration with communities, and involves all stakeholders, including community-based organizations, in the co-construction and implementation of practical solutions. In this commentary, we call for more research with and for migrants, particularly in the form of PAR, as well as for more targeted funding initiatives and research conditions (University, funding agencies) that foster and support this type of research. |
