Immigrants may have been exposed in ways that differ from those of the non-migrant population over their whole life course, including the period before migration, the migration process, and the period after migration. Epidemiological studies on the health experience of migrants have provided important insights into disease etiology but obviously also serve to identify exposure and risk differences between different population groups, and their determinants. This chapter presents an overview of the history and importance of studies among migrants and ethnic minorities. It provides insights into concepts, definitions, and terminology, as well as data sources that can be used for epidemiological research in this field. Key studies that shape the research field are presented. Detailed data both for the migrant populations of interest and for comparison populations are required for a comprehensive, theory-based assessment of the changing health of migrants. Modern, diversity-sensible epidemiological and health research needs to routinely endorse all fundamental quality requirements of epidemiological research and should strive for a system's perspective to fully understand the interplay of influences and conditions shaping the health of migrant populations and population health in general.}, language = {de} }
