Differences in health behaviours between immigrant and non-immigrant groups: a protocol for a systematic review
journal contribution
posted on 2014-01-01, 00:00 authored by Suresh Joshi, Santosh JatranaSantosh Jatrana, Yin ParadiesYin Paradies, Naomi PriestHealth behaviours are important determinants of health and adoption of unhealthy behaviour is considered as one of the mechanisms through which immigrants' health changes over time in the host country. The change in health behaviours over time can contribute either to improving or worsening the overall health status of immigrants. Despite being the important mediators for the change in overall health status and chronic health conditions, no previous review (either general or systematic) has examined differences in key health behaviours simultaneously between immigrants and non-immigrants. This study aims to provide a systematic overview of the current global literature on differences in key health behaviours (that is, tobacco smoking, physical activity and alcohol drinking) between immigrant and non-immigrant groups.
