项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY More than 25 million international migrants today, including 13 million children, have fled their country of origin because of conflict, generalized violence, a fear of persecution, or other severe disturbances to public order. The conditions under which these migrants in need of international protection (MNP) depart their country of origin—under duress and with little anticipation—and the conditions with which they experience life abroad— under a high degree of uncertainty, often for prolonged periods of time—may affect their incorporation, family dynamics, and health and wellbeing once abroad. Despite this possibility, little is known about the pathways by which displacement affects MNP health outcomes. Focusing on MNP in Costa Rica, a country that has experienced a six-fold increase in the number of asylum-seekers over the last five years and that boasts a well-established program for receiving and integrating MNP, the proposed study will provide one of the first investigations into how the events precipitating displacement and the incorporative experiences following it shape MNP family life, and in turn, women and children's wellbeing. The specific aims of this study are that the PI will (1) gain extensive training on international survey data collection, migration, and human development; which will allow her to (2) adapt existing survey methods to collect high-quality panel data among MNP; and to (3) assess how pre- and post-flight experiences shape MNP family dynamics, and in turn, women and children's wellbeing. To achieve these aims, this award will equip Dr. Abigail Weitzman, a sociologist and family demographer at the University of Texas at Austin, with training and mentorship that extend her areas of expertise into three new domains: international survey data collection, migration studies, and developmental science. Combined with her current expertise in quantitative data analysis, family violence, and reproductive health, the proficiencies and research experiences she gains through this award will allow her to expand her interdisciplinary areas of expertise to produce a program of innovative, high-impact research on the determinants of MNP health and wellbeing. Results will provide new insights into the forces shaping family life following displacement and the familial pathways by which pre- and post-flight experiences affect the wellbeing of internationally displaced MNP women and children in the Americas. Training and insights gleaned from this project will lead to the development of a large-scale R01 study extending this line of research and will further aid in the development of policies that promote family cohesion, stability, and the health and wellbeing of internationally displaced migrant populations.

项目概要如今，已有超过 2500 万国际移民，其中包括 1300 万儿童，逃离了自己的祖国由于冲突、普遍暴力、害怕受到迫害或其他严重扰乱公共秩序而产生这些需要国际保护（MNP）的移民离开本国的条件。他们的出身——在胁迫和几乎没有预期的情况下——以及他们在国外经历生活的条件—— 在高度不确定的情况下，通常会持续很长一段时间——可能会影响他们的注册、家庭尽管有这种可能性，但人们对出国后的途径知之甚少。哪些流离失所会影响 MNP 的健康结果重点关注哥斯达黎加这个拥有 MNP 的国家。过去五年来，寻求庇护者的数量增加了六倍，并且拥有拟议的研究是一个完善的接收和整合 MNP 的计划，将提供第一个调查导致流离失所的事件以及随后的融合经历塑造 MNP 家庭生活，进而塑造妇女和儿童的福祉本研究的具体目标是 PI 将 (1) 获得有关国际调查数据收集、移民和人类发展的广泛培训；这将使她能够 (2) 调整现有的调查方法来收集 MNP 的高质量面板数据； (3) 评估飞行前和飞行后的经历如何影响 MNP 家庭动态，进而影响女性和女性为了实现这些目标，该奖项将为社会学家阿比盖尔·韦茨曼博士提供帮助。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的家庭人口统计学家，接受的培训和指导扩展了她的研究领域三个新领域的专业知识：调查国际数据收集、移民研究和发展结合她目前在定量数据分析、家庭暴力和生殖方面的专业知识。她通过该奖项获得的健康、熟练程度和研究经验将使她能够扩展自己的研究领域跨学科的专业知识领域，以制定一个创新的、高影响力的研究计划 MNP 健康和福祉的决定因素将为塑造家庭生活的力量提供新的见解。流离失所后以及飞行前和飞行后经历影响福祉的家庭途径美洲国际流离失所的 MNP 妇女和儿童的培训和从中收集的见解。项目将导致大规模 R01 研究的发展，扩展这一研究领域，并将进一步协助制定促进家庭凝聚力、稳定以及家庭健康和福祉的政策国际上流离失所的移民人口。
