Models of maternal and child healthcare for African refugees: protocol for an exploratory, mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a paucity of research examining models of maternal and child health (MCH) care for refugees in high-income countries. Attention has focused on tailoring existing healthcare services to meet the needs of this population and ensure accessible high-quality patient-centred care. This protocol reports the methodology of a study designed to identify models of care for African refugees in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to determine the evidence for these models and the improvements necessary to best meet service needs that can be delivered in line with available resources, organisational readiness and capacity to implement.

Methods and analysis

This multiphased, participatory research project will employ an exploratory, mixed-methods design. Preparatory act
