Monitoring the health and healthcare provision for refugees in collective accommodation centres: Results of the population-based survey RESPOND.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To date, the integration of refugees in German health surveys is insufficient. The survey RESPOND (Improving regional health system responses to the challenges of forced migration) aimed to collect valid epidemiological data on refugee health status and healthcare provision. The core elements of the survey consisted of a population-based sampling procedure in Baden-Württemberg, multilingual questionnaires and a face-to-face approach of recruitment and data collection in collective accommodation centres with multilingual field teams. In addition, data on the geographical locations of accommodation centres and their structural quality were obtained. The results indicate a high overall health burden. The prevalence of depression (44.3%) and anxiety symptoms (43.0%) was high. At the same time, high unmet needs were reported for primary (30.5%) and specialist (30.9%) care. Despite sufficient geographical accessibility of primary care services, frequent ambulatory care sensitive hospitalisations, i.e. hospitalisations that could potentially have been avoided through primary care (25.3%), as well as subjective deficits in the quality of care, suggest barriers to accessing healthcare services. Almost half of all refugees (45.3%) live in accommodation facilities of poor structural quality. Collecting valid data on the health situation of refugees is possible through a combination of targeted sampling, multilingual recruitment and survey instruments as well as personal recruitment. The presented approach could complement established procedures for conducting health surveys and be extended to other federal states.
