Background\u00a0<\/h2>

In order to map the types of healthcare providers that displaced people turn to for treatment for chronic physical and mental health conditions associated with protracted displacement, conflict, and gendered violence, we deployed social connections analysis via a social mapping methodology developed at Queen Margaret University (QMU)<\/a>. The mapping incorporated individuals across our different field sites (i.e. camp and informal settlements in Somali and Eastern DRC, and Somali and Congolese refugee settlements in Nairobi and Johannesburg).<\/span><\/p>

Social mapping draws on individual interviews to identify: a) all existing support resources (within and outwith formal health system structures) identified by displaced people with neglected health conditions; b) how they use these resources; and c) the relative importance they attribute to each of these available resources. This illuminates the relative importance of each health provider both in terms of volume but also in symbolic values (where do people choose to go, and for which conditions). Where possible we hope to be granted access to primary healthcare centre archives and usage data (e.g. Health Information System) that can be used to complement\u00a0our work on these questions.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

In the second stage, we turned to those providers to understand how they operated. Through a documentary review and semi-structured interviews with health personnel working at different centres\/levels of the healthcare system setting (that will have been identified via the survey), we produced an overall analysis of the health systems structure, management, and functioning.<\/p><\/div>
