“…The overall QoL of SSA migrants was improved by including socioeconomic and demographic characteristics such as educational attainment of SSA migrants in Germany, which provides additional support towards their QoL. In agreement with findings from other studies, education offers favourable observable characteristics to better the QoL among migrants (Ohaeri and Awadalla, 2009;Adedeji, 2019). The more opportunities explored in education, the greater their overall QoL.…”

“…The Study sample was reached using the 5-wave-approach-developed to address the nonrepresentativeness in the Sudman and Kalton snowballing sampling technique. This approach breaks down the discriminative referral system into separate components that systematically increase the probability of selection for all population members (Adedeji, 2019).…”

Poor social integration is associated with poor quality of life among minority groups. The current study hypothesized that trust and sociability may significantly explain the quality of life performance among Sub-Saharan African migrants in Germany. Data from 518 migrants were analyzed. Hierarchical multiple linear regression models were calculated to assess the predictive effect of trust and sociability on aggregate quality of life. Results show that general trust and sociability explained about 21% of the variance in quality of life score (adjusted R2 = .206; p < .001) for the total sample. Socioeconomic and demographic features suggested an added predictive effect of about 8% for total sample (adjusted R2 = .279; p < .001), 10% for male (adjusted R2 = .322; p < .001) and 4% for female (adjusted R2 = .211; p < .001). The results support trust and sociability as essential in connecting to a new environment and enhancing the quality of life.

Psychological health outcome of Sub-Saharan African migrants in Germany

African migrants living in Europe have an increased risk of adverse psychological health outcomes compared to people without a migration background. The increased vulnerability may be due to their migration experience and possible challenges in adapting and integrating into the host community. This study explores the association between community solidarity and psychological health outcome among Sub-Saharan African (SSA) migrants in Germany.<br /> The study used data from 518 SSA migrants in Germany collected in a cross-sectional survey across the 16 German federal states. A correlation matrix was computed to evaluate the bivariate relationship between psychological health, community solidarity, and socioeconomic, and demographic features. Furthermore, regression models were calculated to predict the effect of community solidarity on psychological health outcomes and the added predictive effects of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics.<br /> Community solidarity shows a moderately significant positive association with psychological health (r=.41; p≤.01). A linear regression model suggests that community solidarity, education and age explained 19% of the variance in psychological health scores for SSA migrants in Germany.<br /> These results confirm community solidarity as a significant but multi-layered determinant of various factors that affect migrants’ psychological wellbeing. It supports implementing policies that promote community solidarity to facilitate SSA migrants’ wellbeing.

“…The snowball sampling has been used in the research of, among others, gang members (Patrick, 2013), drug users (Hendriks, Blanken, Adriaans & Hartnoll, 1992), prostitutes (McNamara, 1994), sexual minorities (Browne, 2005), homeless people (Dávid & Snijders, 2002), migrants (Adedeji, 2019;Bilsborrow, 2006). It can also be used to survey populations operating in conflict regions (Cohen & Arieli, 2011;Taarup-Esbensen, 2017) and as a modification of expert sampling (May 2017(May , 2015.…”

“…Snowball sampling is more commonly used to survey migrants (Adedeji, 2019;Bilsborrow, 2006). However, the RDS is increasingly used to survey this group (Gorny & Napierała, 2016;Mühlau, Kaliszewska, & Röder, 2011) because migration is a very network-dependent process (Kalter, 2011;Tyldum & Johnston, 2014).…”

The aim of the article is to compare the effectiveness of the snowball sampling and Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) for research on migrants working in elderly care. Analyses are based on results of in-depth semi-structured individual interviews conducted among 42 migrants working as caregivers in the Opole region (Poland). This group can be considered as a “hidden population” because, due to the work they provide in the household, frequently illegally, they often demonstrate a strong desire to remain invisible. The methods were compared in terms of: (1) duration of the survey, (2) diversity of the sample, (3) difficulty in applying both sampling methods. In the conducted survey, snowball sampling made it possible to find and reach the required number of respondents faster than the RDS. Both groups differed in terms of gender (more men were recruited by snowball sampling), legality of employment (there were fewer lawfully employed in the RDS group) and average length of stay in Poland (migrants recruited by snowball sampling stayed in Poland for an average of 3.3 years and enrolled by RDS for 1.7 year). In both groups, recruitment was not self-driven by the chain of social networks of respondents. The reason was, inter alia, the structure of the social network of the migrant, which only to a small extent covered other migrants employed in senior care. The article closes the research gap for comparative research using snowball sampling and RDS on the same hard-to-reach population. The survey also attempts to verify to what extent face-to-face RDS can be used to survey hidden and rare populations scattered over a larger area than a city or agglomeration. Therefore the RDS method has been used to recruit respondents from the whole region without limiting the scope to one city or agglomeration.
