Publication International migration, food insecurity, and mental health: A scoping review protocol(2024) Blukacz, Alice; Cabieses, Báltica; Huerta, Catalina; Lake, Amelia A.; Smith, Jo; Giles, Emma L.; Deane, FayeINTRODUCTION Food insecurity is a global priority that has been found to negatively impact mental health, increasing the risk of mental disorders and severe mental illness. International migrants may face food insecurity throughout their migratory cycle due to a range of risk factors, such as poor transit conditions, precarious employment, financial pressure, discrimination, and lack of availability and access to culturally relevant food, among others. Although there are multiple reviews on migration, food insecurity, and health in general, no scoping review has been conducted on food insecurity among international migrants focusing on mental health. OBJECTIVE To investigate the available evidence on food insecurity and mental health among international migrants. METHODS A search of scientific literature in English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese published since 2013 will be performed in the Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, APA PsycArticles, Cinahl, and ASSIA databases, including grey literature available in Google Scholar. Two authors will independently review titles, abstracts, and full texts before extracting data from publications complying with the eligibility criteria. Extracted data will be descriptively mapped according to emerging thematic categories. EXPECTED RESULTS The review will contribute to identifying what is known about international migration, food insecurity, and mental health, gaps in the literature, opportunities for specific research subtopics, and how food insecurity and mental health can be linked in the existing literature.Publication Intersectionality, racism, and mental health of migrants arriving at borders in Latin America: a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with key informants of the cases of Ecuador and Chile(2025) Rocha-Jiménez, Teresita; Torres, Irene; Cabieses, Báltica; López-Cevallos, Daniel F.; Mercado-Órdenes, MercedesBackground Migration is a social determinant of health, as human mobility is associated with the health outcomes of those who move. Social sciences research on migration and health needs to transition from an individual approach to models that reveal how place, processes of racialization, and structural elements impact immigrant health. We aim to describe, from the key informant's perspective in depth, the case of intersectionality, racism, and gender and related perceived effects on Venezuelan migrants' mental health at two relevant Latin American borders. Methods The present study is a multisite observational cross-sectional qualitative project on two selected borders, the northern borders of Chile (Antofagasta, Iquique, Arica) and Ecuador (Tulcán, Nueva Loja). In-depth semi-structured interviews with key informants were collected in (n = 30) Chile from May to December 2022 and in Ecuador (n = 30) from October to December 2022. 22 participants were men, and 38 were women, and in-depth interviews were analysed using an inductive thematic approach. Findings We found structural axes (i.e., socioeconomic, migration status, gender) of power that intersect in migrants' and refugees’ conditions and experiences in their access to health and mental health care. Interpretation We proposed the notions of intersectionality and racism to deliberately connect complex and dynamic concepts relevant to migrant and refugee health research, such as the racism faced by historically racialized populations based on their phenotypes, social class, and/or nationality and socioeconomic and gender inequalities.
