RESPOND - Improving regional health system responses to the challenges of migration through tailored interventions for asylum-seekers and refugees (English Version) - Cognitive Pretest

Abstract:

RESPOND is a research project of the Department of General Medicine and Health Services Research at Heidelberg University Hospital. The aim of the project is to provide the necessary scientific evidence to make care structures for asylum seekers more effective, more efficient, and more appropriate to their needs.
This pretest focuses on questions concerning the state of health, access to care, quality of care, and health literacy.
The questions were tested via face-to-face cognitive interviews in Serbian, Arabic, Farsi, Russian and English. Simultaneous interpreters were added to the interviews via video conferencing.
