To survey community-based migrant-serving organizations (MSOs) in New York City (NYC) regarding their early experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and perspectives on academic collaborations.
We developed and emailed a survey via Qualtrics (12/2020-1/2021) to 122 MSOs in NYC collecting data about the organizations; challenges posed by COVID-19; and interest in potential intersectoral collaboration. Descriptive analysis focused on the pandemic's impact on service provision, type of MSO, and organizational capacity.
Thirty-eight MSOs participated (RR=31%). COVID-19-related challenges included limited staff capacity, organizational funding, and technological and resource limitations of communities served. Organizational capacity correlated with types of services offered: smaller organizations offered health and social services, while larger organizations focused on education and employment. MSOs indicated interest in collaboration on migrant policy advocacy and communications, access to interns, and resources regarding best practices and policies.
MSOs in NYC have struggled with funding, staffing, and service provision. They specified fruitful areas for collaboration with academic research institutions.
Development of an academic-based migrant health resource hub will serve an identified need among MSOs in NYC.
就纽约市基于社区的移民服务组织（MSOs）在新冠疫情期间的早期经历及其对学术合作的看法展开调查。
我们通过Qualtrics（2020年12月 - 2021年1月）制定并发送了一份调查问卷给纽约市的122个移民服务组织，收集有关这些组织的数据；新冠疫情带来的挑战；以及对潜在跨部门合作的兴趣。描述性分析聚焦于疫情对服务提供、移民服务组织类型和组织能力的影响。
38个移民服务组织参与了调查（回复率 = 31%）。与新冠疫情相关的挑战包括员工能力有限、组织资金、以及所服务社区的技术和资源限制。组织能力与所提供的服务类型相关：规模较小的组织提供健康和社会服务，而规模较大的组织专注于教育和就业。移民服务组织表示有兴趣在移民政策倡导与沟通、实习生获取以及最佳实践和政策相关资源方面开展合作。
纽约市的移民服务组织在资金、人员配备和服务提供方面面临困难。他们明确了与学术研究机构合作的富有成效的领域。
建立一个基于学术的移民健康资源中心将满足纽约市移民服务组织已确定的需求。
