As part of the project Improving Health Monitoring in Migrant Populations (IMIRA), a (core) set of indicators was developed to describe the health of people with a migration background. This work was underpinned by research into and assessment of relevant data sources in the field of migration and health. Initially, four fields of action were identified together with a number of associated topics and potential indicators for each of the area's individual topics. The choice of core indicators was based on (1) a systematic comparison of widely accepted indicator systems, (2) an assessment of public health relevance, (3) comprehensibility and (4) informative value, as well as (5) the availability of (largely) representative data that could properly account for the diversity of the migrant population. The (core) indicator set was finalised using an internal and external indicator development process that involved an interdisciplinary expert panel. This resulted in the selection of 25 core indicators; 41 additional indicators were documented as part of an 'extended' indicator set. The (core) set of indicators is to be continually developed in line with the work being undertaken to improve the integration of people with a migration background in the health monitoring conducted at the Robert Koch Institute. In the future, the indicator set is to be incorporated into an overall concept to regular, migration-related health reporting.
作为“改善移民人口健康监测”(IMIRA)项目的一部分,制定了一套(核心)指标来描述有移民背景人群的健康状况。这项工作以对移民与健康领域相关数据源的研究和评估为基础。最初,确定了四个行动领域以及若干相关主题,并为每个领域的各个主题确定了潜在指标。核心指标的选择基于以下几点:(1)对广泛认可的指标体系进行系统比较;(2)评估对公共卫生的相关性;(3)可理解性;(4)信息价值;以及(5)是否有(很大程度上)具有代表性的数据,能够恰当反映移民人口的多样性。(核心)指标集通过一个涉及跨学科专家小组的内部和外部指标制定过程得以最终确定。这导致选出了25个核心指标;另有41个指标作为“扩展”指标集的一部分被记录下来。(核心)指标集将根据为改善有移民背景人群融入罗伯特·科赫研究所开展的健康监测工作而持续进行完善。未来,该指标集将被纳入一个关于定期的、与移民相关的健康报告的总体概念中。
