Descripción del proyecto
Migrantes intracomunitarios retornados: el impacto «posbrexit» y los determinantes sociales de la salud
El proyecto RETORNO, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende investigar cómo ha podido afectar el «Brexit» a cuestiones sociales y a la salud de los migrantes retornados entre el Reino Unido y España. Las políticas de migración intracomunitaria interactúan con determinantes sociales de la salud, que incluyen las circunstancias en las que las personas nacen, crecen, viven, trabajan y envejecen. Estas varían en función de la forma en que las políticas distribuyen el dinero, el poder y los recursos y afectan a la salud de las personas. Gracias a una metodología de evaluación innovadora con talleres con partes interesadas de la coproducción (como ONG, misiones diplomáticas y responsables políticos), el proyecto busca desvelar los mecanismos y los factores contextuales (es decir, las intervenciones específicas o políticas) que general desigualdades sanitarias, centrándose en aquellas relacionadas con el género. Este estudio proporcionará una teoría sensible al contexto basada en evidencias sobre cómo mejorar las condiciones de salud de los migrantes intracomunitarios retornados.
Objetivo
Migration policies in EU countries interact with structural social determinants of health (unemployment, social/health insurance, housing provision, pension schemes), unequal social structures (gender, ethnicity, class), intermediary social determinants (working and living conditions, health and social care systems) and social cohesion/capital. Consequently, return migration’ interventions for social determinants of health (SDH) may work well in one context to reduce social health inequalities but inadequately in others.
This study will develop an evidence-based context-sensitive theory of how intra-EU returned migrants’ health could be improved using the case study of return migration between the UK and Spain post-Brexit referendum. It will aim to explore how Brexit could affect health and social care services provision for returned migrants and the implications for different stakeholders (migrant NGOs, Embassies/Consulates, health and social care staff, policy makers); to classify interventions for SDH to understand for whom, under what circumstances, in what respects and why they may impact returned migrants health inequalities; to identify contextual factors and main mechanisms triggered by interventions and how these impact health outcomes, focusing on gender inequalities; and to provide a co-produced theory on how public policies may impact EU citizens after residing in other EU member states.
The study will use an innovative realist synthesis methodology with nested co-production stakeholder workshops in five methodological phases: 1) Consolidate scope; 2) search for evidence; 3) appraise studies and extract data; 4) synthesize evidence and draw conclusions; 5) disseminate, implement and evaluate. Anticipated findings will provide policy makers with stronger evidence to support future national and European policies based on complex changing socio-economic realities that impact EU returned migrants’ health, while adding to migration movements´ theory.
