They frequently experience health disadvantages relative to the respective majority populations. Birth cohort studies can help to disentangle social and biological factors producing these health inequalities over the life course. We investigated whether birth cohorts in European countries (i) assess migration history and ethnicity in the study design; and (ii) use this information in data analyses. Methods: A scoping review was performed in which European birth cohort studies were identified using dedicated web-based registries, MEDLINE and EMBASE. Two reviewers systematically assessed all identified birth cohorts and selected those fulfilling defined inclusion criteria (e.g. enrolment after 1980). Publications and websites were screened for information on the inclusion of migrants and ethnic minorities. To obtain more detailed information, researchers of enrolled birth cohorts were contacted individually. Results: Eighty-eight birth cohorts were identified in 20 European countries, with more than 486 250 children enrolled in total. Sixty-two studies (70.5\%) reported collecting data about migration history or ethnic background. Twenty-three studies (26\%) used information on migration history or ethnicity for data analyses or plan to do so in future. Conclusion: The majority of European birth cohorts assessed participants' migration history or ethnic background; however, this information was seldom used for comparative analyses in trying to disentangle reasons for health inequalities. Also, heterogeneous indicators were used. Better use of data already available, as well as harmonization of data collection on migration history and ethnicity, could yield interesting insights into the production of health inequalities.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SpallekRazum, author = {Spallek, Jacob and Razum, Oliver}, title = {Erkl{\"a}rungsmodelle f{\"u}r die gesundheitliche Situation von Migrantinnen und Migranten}, series = {Health Inequalities}, booktitle = {Health Inequalities}, editor = {Bauer, Ullrich and Bittlingmayer, Uwe H. and Richter, Matthias}, publisher = {VS Verlag f{\"u}r Sozialwissenschaften}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-531-15612-5}, pages = {271 -- 288}, abstract = {In diesem Kapitel wird dargestellt, warum Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund eine wichtige Zielgruppe der Forschung zu sozialer Ungleichheit und Gesundheit darstellen und es wird dokumentiert, dass diese Gruppe bislang nicht hinreichend ber{\"u}cksichtigt wird.

In Germany, women are invited to the population-based mammography screening program between ages 50 to 69. It is still discussed whether the benefits of mammography screening outweigh its harms. Therefore, the concept of informed choice comprising knowledge, attitude and intention has gained importance. The objective of this observational study was to assess the proportion of informed choices among women invited to the German mammography screening program for the first time. A representative sample of 17,349 women aged 50 years from a sub-region of North Rhine Westphalia was invited to participate in a postal survey. Turkish immigrant women were oversampled. The effects of education level and migration status on informed choice and its components were assessed. 5,847 (33.7\%) women responded to the postal questionnaire of which 4,113 were used for analyses. 31.5\% of the women had sufficient knowledge. The proportion of sufficient knowledge was lower among immigrants and among women with low education levels. The proportion of women making informed choices was low (27.1\%), with similar associations with education level and migration status. Women of low (OR 2.75; 95\% CI 2.18-3.46) and medium education level (OR 1.49; 95\% CI 1.27-1.75) were more likely to make an uninformed choice than women of high education level. Turkish immigrant women had the greatest odds for making an uninformed choice (OR 5.30, 95\% CI 1.92-14.66) compared to non-immigrant women. Other immigrant women only had slightly greater odds for making an uninformed choice than non-immigrant women. As immigrant populations and women with low education level have been shown to have poor knowledge, they need special attention in measures to increase knowledge and thus informed choices.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RazumSpallek, author = {Razum, Oliver and Spallek, Jacob}, title = {GBE f{\"u}r Migranten}, series = {Gesundheitsberichterstattung und Surveillance}, booktitle = {Gesundheitsberichterstattung und Surveillance}, editor = {Reintjes, Ralf and Klein, Silvia}, publisher = {Hans Huber Verlag, Hogrefe AG}, address = {Bern}, isbn = {3-456-84441-7}, pages = {207 -- 214}, abstract = {Migranten bilden einen signifikant großen Teil der deutschen Bev{\"o}lkerung.
