Migration and Health: Time for a new research agenda

In this issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, edited by CHAIN Leader Terje Andreas Eikemo, the featured studies examine pressing public health issues among migrant groups categorised according to age, country of origin, sub-population groups, duration of stay and reasons for migration. Topics included reproductive health, mental health, infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases and the use of healthcare services. While it demonstrates progress in this field of research, the edition also illustrates the need to shed light on new complexities and interdependencies. It calls for a new research agenda stressing for example that more research and moving beyond researcher driven ‘cherry picking’ of migrant groups and topics is needed.
