Abstract

Milwaukee has become home to one of the largest US populations of Rohingya refugees, who face barriers to health care, including poor service integration impeded by the absence of a formal written language. Clinicians also face barriers to delivering adequate, culturally attuned health services, so suboptimal outcomes are common. This article describes a community-based intervention using an interprofessional, multi-organizational, and ethnographically focused approach to address Rohingya refugee health needs that incorporates Rohingya participants’ making educational videos in their native language. Mutually beneficial outcomes are outlined for Rohingya, students, and clinicians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
