We seek to strengthen understanding of the health needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in contexts of conflict or violence. Based upon a scoping review, our paper identified limited evidence on IDP health, but nevertheless indicates that IDPs tend to experience worse health outcomes than other conflict-affected populations across a range of health issues; and this is due to the particularly vulnerable situation of IDPs relative to these other populations, including reduced access to health services. Further research is required to better understand these needs and the interventions that can most effectively address these needs.
我们旨在加强对冲突或暴力背景下境内流离失所者(IDP)健康需求的理解。基于一项范围综述,我们的论文发现关于境内流离失所者健康的证据有限,但仍表明境内流离失所者在一系列健康问题上往往比其他受冲突影响的人群经历更差的健康结果;这是由于境内流离失所者相对于其他人群的特别脆弱状况,包括获得医疗服务的机会减少。需要进一步研究以更好地理解这些需求以及能够最有效满足这些需求的干预措施。
