OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Migration is a defining political challenge of our time and a global health priority. And yet internationally there is a lack of epidemiological data on migrant health including estimates of morbidity, mortality and risk factors for disease. In this talk, Rob will describe three studies he currently conducting that aim to generate new evidence that will improve the health of migrants. The first is a recently completed systematic review and meta-analysis of mortality data in international migrants. The second is the Million migrant study – an electronic cohort that will establish national rates of age-specific morbidity and risk factors for disease in migrants to the UK. The third is a migrant eCohort that will be created using a mobile health app to generate data allowing examination of how risk factors for disease in migrants change after arriving in the UK.
