Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Översikten är en sammanfattning av åtta rapporter om barn som anhöriga i Sverige. Rapporterna har gjorts inom ramen för ett regeringsuppdrag om ett brett nationellt utvecklingsarbete där Socialstyrelsen, Folkhälsomyndigheten och Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting samarbetar för att stärka stödet till barn och unga i familjer med missbruk, allvarlig sjukdom eller psykisk ohälsa, eller då en förälder avlider.

Acculturation or unequal assimilation? Smoking during pregnancy and duration of residence among migrants in Sweden
- 2019

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A growing corpus of evidence reveals that smoking patterns of migrant women tend to converge with that of the host population over time (‘acculturation paradox’). In this paper we aim to adopt a health equity perspective by studying the extent to which this pattern reflects a convergence with the group of natives who are more socioeconomically disadvantaged. Using population-based registers, we study 1,194,296 women who gave birth in Sweden between 1991 and 2012. Using logistic regression, we estimated odds ratios to assess the effect of duration of residence on the association between smoking during pregnancy and women's origin (classified according to inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (iHDI) of the country of birth). Sibling information and multilevel models were used to assess the extent to which our results might be affected by the cross-sectional nature of the data. Smoking during pregnancy increases with duration of residence among migrants from all levels of iHDI to such an extent that they tend to converge or increase in relation to the levels of the Swedish population with low education and low income, leaving behind the native population with high education and income. The results are robust to possible selection bias related to the cross-sectional nature of the data. Our findings indicate the need of a health equity perspective and suggest the use of ‘unequal assimilation’ rather than ‘acculturation paradox’ as a more suitable framework to interpret these findings.

Föräldraskap efter flykt till ett annat land : Kunskapssammanställning baserad på en kartläggande litteraturöversikt

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Parenting after forced migration entails specific challenges, especially during the first years after flight, such as reception and social networks in the new country, socioeconomic situation, migration related difficulties, mental ill-health, discrimination, to learn a new language, new norms and expectations, and leading a transnational life. This report is a scoping review with the aim to compile and describe the existing knowledge about the experiences of newly arrived forced migrant parents, as well as key factors that affect parenting during the first year after having fled to another country. PubMed, Sociology Collection and PsychInfo were systematically searched. The report includes 27 articles.The result of the literature review was systematised into two main themes that were salient in the empirical material: strengths/possibilities and challenges. Strength/possibilities relate to four categories: health and social service, new possibilities, establishing oneself, and networks and family. Challenges relate to the four categories health, establishing oneself, socioeconomic status, and social networks and relationships. Many studies note the importance of access to, as well as accurate information about, health care and social services where the newly arrived parents' situation is taken into account. Fleeing to another country may mean possibilities such as education and to be able to live in peace and freedom. To be able to establish oneself in the new country is a supporting factor for parenting. Family life and social networks are also noted as central supporting factors. On the other hand, lack of information and poor treatment are barriers to access to health care. Several studies report on some form of mental ill health among the parents. To be subjected to new norms for parenting and experiences of discrimination are other challenges for these parents. Many newly arrived parents have low socioeconomic status. Worries related to residence permits may also affect parenting in a negative way.This scoping review shows that this group of newly arrived parents often lack the stability that the sedentary and settled groups may enjoy. There is a need for parenting support for this group that takes this into account. While not assuming that this group is homogenous, another challenge to consider is mental ill-health among newly arrived parents, not least related to unsafe living conditions and previous traumatic events.

Parenthood after forced migration : A literature review
- 2019
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Parenting after forced migration carries specific challenges, especially during the first years – difficulties and trauma related to migration, adjusting to a new language, new norms and expectations, and leading a transnational life. This presentation is based on a literature review, with the aim to gather and synthesise existing research concerning the conditions for and experiences of parenthood among newly arrived forced migrants. Searches were conducted in Pubmed, Sociology collection and PsychInfo. In total, 27 articles were included. The result is reported as themes categorized as strengths and challenges for newly arrived parents. Themes under the category strengths are: health and social service, new possibilities, establishing oneself, and networks and family. In the category challenges are found: health, establishing oneself, socioeconomic status, and social networks and relationships. The importance of accurate information about, and access to, health care and social service where the specific situation of this group is taken into account was stressed. New possibilities relating to education and living in peace and freedom may arise from seeking refuge in a new country. However, many newly arrived parents have poor socioeconomic status. Worries relating to the migration process and residence status may make parenting more difficult. Family life and social networks are stressed as important factors for parenting. Supporting parents who have recently fled must involve both practical support, information and help with orientation in the new society, alongside established parental support programmes.
