We evaluated markers of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance in among 254 returned migrant workers in China from Africa from 2013 to 2016. High prevalences of (97.2%) and (96.5%) mutations were observed. The partially resistant genotype was homogeneously distributed in Africa with a modestly high prevalence (48%), whereas the super resistant genotype was only found in West Africa with a very low frequency (1.2%). The findings provided baseline data about the molecular markers of SP resistance.

Community Paediatrics Research Group, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.
Background And Objective: Migrant and refugee women, families, and their children can experience significant language, cultural, and psychosocial barriers to engage with child and family services. Integrated child and family health Hubs are increasingly promoted as a potential solution to address access barriers; however, there is scant literature on how to best implement them with migrant and refugee populations. Our aim was to explore with service providers and consumers the barriers, enablers, and experiences with Hubs and the resulting building blocks required for acceptable Hub implementation for migrant and refugee families.

Research Group: Implementation Research, Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Adequate knowledge and awareness regarding diseases are essential for appropriate, high-quality healthcare. Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) is a non-sexually transmitted gynaecological disease that is caused by the presence of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the female genital tract and the resulting immune response that causes tissue damage. It is estimated to affect 56 million women, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where healthcare workers (HCWs) have limited awareness and knowledge of FGS.

Background: In China, migrant workers (MWs) constitute a significant vulnerable group that may be highly susceptible to depression. However, there is a lack of empirical research exploring the correlation between subjective social status (SSS) and depressive symptoms among MWs. The objective of this study is to examine the mediating roles of job fairness and job burnout, as well as to investigate potential generational differences in this association.
