Abstract

The health of individuals and populations is determined and influenced through the complex relationships between many factors.Travel,migration and mobility can, depending upon the circumstances,play an important role in health outcomes, for both individuals and the community at large. The health of travelers,migrants,workers and other mobile populations is an area of increasing interest for many medical and health providers, researchers, educators and policy-makers.1 As the world becomes more integrated in terms of communication, finance, travel, commerce and education (a process often labeled globalization),distances and frontiers that once provided limits to travel and mobility have become increasingly less important.More people are mobile, the reasons for their mobility are becoming increasingly more diverse, and the demographic make-up of these mobile populations is less uniform.2 Population Mobility and Health: An Overview of the Relationships Between Movement and Population Health
