Sammanfattning
The number of migrants worldwide and in Sweden is large and has increased over the last five years. Newly arrived migrants are a heterogeneous group but
in common, they are an exposed group in terms of different forms of ill health. In order to identify and promote health among them, a number of health-communication initiatives are carried out at national level. This article presents results from studies investigating experiences and needs of some of those initiatives. The summary shows that all newly arrived migrants who need health communication efforts do not have access to them or access them optimally.
Health communication that benefits everyone regardless of country of birth, education and health literacy levels is important for achieving equal health.
