As a group, newly arrived migrants in Sweden face inequities in health compared to the general population. Successful promotion of population health requires awareness of and focus on health from several sectors of society. In light of this, the aim was to study the views of local authority officials on collaboration in health promotion activities for newly arrived migrants. Data was collected through five focus group interviews with 23 local authority officials working with the integration of newly arrived migrants in the Establishment Program in a municipality or at the Employment Services in northern Sweden. An inductive qualitative latent content analysis was performed, and the analysis showed that the participating officials considered health promotion as desirable in the Establishment Program, but it also raised complex issues within the existing organisations. The officials described unclear roles, but also possible changes to the organisation that would improve the possibility of working to promote health. The present study adds to the relatively limited knowledge of health promotion in integration activities and offers clinical relevance for policymakers through the officials' suggestions for improvements in the Establishment Program. It also raises important questions for further research.
作为一个群体，新移民在瑞典面临着与一般人群相比健康不平等的问题。成功促进人口健康需要社会各界关注和关注健康。有鉴于此，本研究旨在研究地方当局官员对新移民融入活动中的健康促进活动合作的看法。通过对 23 名在北方瑞典的市镇设立计划或就业服务处从事新移民融入工作的地方当局官员进行五次焦点小组访谈，收集了数据。采用了一种归纳式定性潜在内容分析，分析结果表明，参与的官员认为在设立计划中促进健康是可取的，但这也在现有组织内引发了复杂的问题。官员们描述了角色不明确，但也有可能对组织进行变革，从而提高促进健康的可能性。本研究增加了融合活动中健康促进方面相对有限的知识，并通过官员们对改善设立计划的建议，为政策制定者提供了临床相关性。它还为进一步的研究提出了重要的问题。
