Objective
Research objectives and content
I will focus on HIV/AIDS migrants strategies of health seeking behaviour, by comparing France and Benelux (mostly Belgium) as the host countries having different policies in that regard. The assumption sustaining my research advocates that different European policies and health care delivery systems orient various migration patterns, induce different health seeking behaviour among the migrants and therefore generate different ways of coping with the virus in the country of destination. I will compare the material, social and cultural factors, which give birth to the migration motivations of the infected people and the network they elaborate from their native country to both Benelux and France. A second hypothesis is that flexible socio-medical services providing information, legal aid and psycho- social assistance as well can be a good support for the health seekers. These structures may help them to have a better understanding of the new society and the way to receive proper care. These structures may be run either by government or non-government agencies. After concertation with official bodies for having an understanding of the policy situation, I will select two representative (and illustrative) samples from two distinct communities. One may be from South- America and another from West Africa. It will give quantitative information (supported by statistics), as well as qualitative data through in depth interviews.
The innovative aspect is twofold:
- such a research has not yet been undertaken. It s a new field.
- the comparison dimension should permit to consider the potential benefits developed by each country.
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)
Professional and practical results: Thinking out new models of amelioration of the quality of care expected by the migrants. Providing information for further formulation of policies toward the management and control of migration flowing relation with HIV/AIDS care expectations. Research pilot experience in European regions already severely affected by the socio-economic consequences of the epidemic and having also an important floating and mobile population.
Scientific results:
.Setting up sustainable links with other European Universities/laboratories
.Development of a European network of researchers called to work on similar questions
Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)
There is no direct link with industry, but the subject is relevant for the industrial sector as far as most of the migrant workers are prone to be employed in the industrial sector. Therefore, industries will have to deal more and more, ethically, socially, and with reference to medico-legal aspects, with the epidemic.
