Abstrakt: | Migrant and refugee women experience inequities in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care, reflected in the low uptake of SRH services. It is essential for healthcare providers and educators to be aware of women's preferences for SRH information and service delivery, to provide culturally responsive care. Identifying migrant and refugee women's preferences for SRH information and service delivery is the objective of this study. This study investigated this issue, in communities of migrant and refugee women living in Australia and Canada. Eighty-four individual interviews and 16 focus groups comprising 85 participants were conducted (total n = 169), with migrant and refugee women aged 18 years and over from Afghanistan, India (Punjab), Iraq, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri-Lanka (Tamil), Sudan and various South American (Latina) backgrounds. Nine individual interviews were also undertaken with community interviewers, who were migrant or refugee women themselves. Thematic analyses identified that migrant and refugee women are enthusiastic to learn about SRH across the lifespan, using a variety of modalities including group education delivered by community leaders; online and written material; and information provided by general practitioners. Participants emphasised the need for empathetic SRH care, which encompassed longer times for consultations, being seen as experts of their own bodies, privacy and healthcare provided by women practitioners. Greater engagement with migrant and refugee men was positioned as an additional solution to addressing SRH concerns of women. Insights from this study can help facilitate the co-design and evaluation of acceptable and sustainable programs to address inequities in SRH experienced by migrant and refugee women.
