However, research has shown that refugee women often are unable to access necessary health care due to an inability to overcome the geographic barrier of traveling to a medical appointment. The Refugee Reproductive Health (RRH) Committee is a coalition of refugees, government officials, and university researchers who seek to address these barriers and improve refugee health in Salt Lake County, Utah. Structure/Method/Design: In April 2014, women from the Congolese refugee community participated in a health workshop held at a local multicultural center not far from the women’s homes. Volunteers picked up participants to ensure they were able to participate in the workshop. At the conclusion of the workshop, a second set of volunteers discovered that the women were not clear about the location of their neighborhoods nor could they adequately explain how to get to their homes. The researchers completed a basic geospatial analysis of the resources available for these women and connected the resources to the location of the women’s homes. Based on this analysis, refugee communities are resettled in locations that are “resource deserts” and not close to resources such as hospitals, clinics, libraries, and grocery stores. Outcomes & Evaluation: Workshop participants varied widely in their ability to direct facilitators to their homes. Many were unable to provide a street address or directions; those who were able to provide directions to the facilitator generally relied on recognizable landmarks to navigate. Overall, returning home presented significant challenges for most of these women. In October 2014, university researchers identified six Congolese women who were willing to be filmed talking about and navigating through their neighborhoods and communities. We filmed these neighborhood walkthroughs at two different seasons to determine how women viewed their communities and how they navigated them. The overall outcome for this project will be to develop tools that women could use to better understand navigating in the Salt Lake County area. Going Forward: Because many of the workshop participants were unable to navigate to their own home, it is likely that this population also faces significant spatial barriers in accessing health care. This study suggests that interventions seeking to improve refugee women’s health should carefully evaluate the geographic barriers and seek to establish tools to expand the spatial mobility of this vulnerable population. The tool templates developed from this project will be made available for other entities working with refugee and immigrant groups. Funding: The Congolese Community Specialist (5% FTE) devotes part of her effort to this project; involvement in this project is within the scope of employment of our governmental partners.
