Summary
Migrant and refugee youth (MRY) face barriers to sexual reproductive health (SRH) services, leading to adverse outcomes. Enhancing SRHR programs requires focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion, and targeted education for MRY.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Sociology
- Human Rights
Background:
- Migrant and refugee youth (MRY) in Western countries exhibit lower engagement with sexual reproductive health (SRH) services.
- Limited access and awareness contribute to higher rates of adverse SRH experiences among MRY.
- Understanding MRY's perspectives is crucial for developing inclusive SRHR programs and policies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review examining MRY's understanding of SRHR.
- To identify implications for inclusive SRHR programs and policies.
- To address gaps in SRHR service provision for vulnerable youth populations.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across seven academic databases.
- Data extraction using the Partners for Dignity and Rights' Human Rights Assessment framework.
- Thematic synthesis analysis of extracted data.
Main Results:
- 38 eligible literature sources (24 peer-reviewed, 14 grey literature) were identified.
- Significant barriers to SRHR support and services for MRY were highlighted.
- Under-implementation of SRHR support and services by MRY was noted.
Conclusions:
- Current evidence indicates a need for improved resourcing of SRHR policies and programs for MRY.
- Key policy implications include enhancing SRHR education, diversity, equity, inclusion, and privacy protections for MRY.
- Sustainable SRH for MRY necessitates programs prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, targeted education, and community resourcing.
