Sexual and reproductive health policies for migrant, immigrant and refugee populations in select high-income countries: a policy analysis protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

International migrants comprise 3.6% of the global population and face systemic barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, such as contraception, safe abortion care and sexual function support. In high-income countries, policy frameworks vary widely, with migration status significantly influencing entitlement and access to host countries. This protocol outlines a planned study to systematically analyse SRH policies in high-income countries with strong migrant integration frameworks, aiming to identify policy gaps, assess inclusivity and inform recommendations to strengthen Australia's SRH policy landscape.

Methods and analysis

This study employs a systematic policy analysis using the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. C
