“…This can be achieved by following an intersectional‐based structure. It includes modifying how policies are framed to be more inclusive, such as by acknowledging that return migration has a direct impact on receiving families and communities; guaranteeing resource availability; indicating who, how, and where services and resources will be delivered to non‐border states; incorporating returnees' receiving family members into the reunification and “re‐integration” phases of the policy; integrating an intersectional, equity‐based approach to the policies; collaborating with end users, researchers, and governments that host large numbers of Mexican nationals, such as the United States and Canada; and incorporating Mexicans coming from countries other than the United States (Lam & Marifran, 2020, 4). This last one is crucial, as previous research has noted that migrants' “re‐integration” into home societies is influenced by contexts and values of host countries (Girma, 2017; Hagan & Wassink, 2020).…”

Services and resources for migrants returning to Mexico are necessary to ease their transition and “re‐integration” into home communities. Policies that do not have a holistic approach can result in serious implications for the social, political, cultural, and health of returnees, receiving families, and communities. This research critically analyses return migration policies in Mexico drawing from the intersectionality‐based policy analysis framework and a multi‐scalar approach to critically study return migration policies in Mexico. We analysed 20 return migration policies using the principles of the intersectionality‐based policy analysis framework. In 2021, we interviewed those impacted by return migration policies in Veracruz, Mexico to gain deeper insights into return migration policies. Women who stayed behind, return migrants, community leaders, and health‐care providers were interviewed via phone or face‐to‐face in Spanish. Information was transcribed verbatim and analysed with the aid of computer‐assisted data analysis software and quotes were translated into English. They shed light on two major inequities in policies: (1) the lack of acknowledgement of diversity or return migrants and (2) the exclusion of receiving families and communities from the “re‐integration” process of return migrants. Based on the multi‐scalar critical policy analysis, return migration policies in Mexico would benefit from a more comprehensive and inclusive approach where the needs of return migrants and community members are protected based on their diversity.

“…A variety of stakeholders must be engaged in the coordination of successfully integrated drug policies. Importantly, to ensure the pertinence and coherence of such policies, engagement with end-users and drug service workers must be prioritized and frequently evaluated (51). Policies and services must not simply be designed for PWUD but in close collaboration with them, along with other key stakeholders such as service providers.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the right to health of people who use drugs

Context: According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) people who inject drugs (PWID) make up a significant part of the population that needs to be looked after to eliminate infectious diseases such as those caused by HIV and HCV. This situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID-19 rapidly spread across the globe, governments implemented various prevention measures which not only caused an increase in problem drug use (PDU) because of their negative impact on mental health and socioeconomic conditions but also prompted a decrease in drug services provided. Therefore, new challenges appeared, such as increased demand for drugs and diversification of clients, and new needs. Nevertheless, in clear contradiction to what was needed, the EMCDDA’s initial reports suggested that there was a decline in European drug services both in providing treatment and harm reduction interventions. COVID-19 increased the need to access drug services, healthcare, and support services creating an increased demand for opioid substitution therapy and other medication. Thus, comprehensive, and sustainable policies are needed to combat the public health threats associated with these challenges and to ensure the continuity of care. Policy Options: The challenging circumstances brought by the COVID-19 pandemic require policymakers need to take action to build capacity and resiliency for those facing drug-related health and social problems. These should include the adoption of integrated strategies that combine drug consumption rooms, substance-specific therapies, provision of free needles and naloxone, primary healthcare, and social support. Recommendations: The creation of an integrated drug policy framework addressed to European Union member states is necessary to create robust drug services capable of surviving a crisis. This is guided by a relevant policy design and implementation framework, alongside tangible action principles in line with low-threshold service provision.

“…Underlying this, there is research ( Lam & Mattson, 2020 ) highlighting that by co-creating with the end-users, uncertainties on the new developments may be clarified before the end product is finalised, thus reducing risk. User-centric design should have the end-user at its heart, meaning that the EHR and AI software should fit seamlessly with the workflow of the frontline end-user and with sustained use the software will be enhanced.…”

This article is a critical and integrative review of health policy literature examining artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for healthcare systems and the frontline nursing workforce. A key focus is on co-creation as essential for the deployment and adoption of AI. Our review hinges on the European Commission’s White Paper on Artificial Intelligence from 2020, which provides a useful roadmap. The value of health data spaces and electronic health records (EHRs) is considered; and the role of advanced nurse practitioners in harnessing the potential of AI tools in their practice is articulated. Finally, this paper examines “trust” as a precondition for the successful deployment and adoption of AI in Europe. AI applications in healthcare can enhance safety and quality, and mitigate against common risks and challenges, once the necessary level of trust is achieved among all stakeholders. Such an approach can enable effective preventative care across healthcare settings, particularly community and primary care. However, the acceptance of AI tools in healthcare is dependent on the robustness, validity and reliability of data collected and donated from EHRs. Nurse stakeholders have a key role to play in this regard, since trust can only be fostered through engaging frontline end-users in the co-design of EHRs and new AI tools. Nurses hold an intimate understanding of the direct benefits of such technology, such as releasing valuable nursing time for essential patient care, and empowering patients and their family members as recipients of nursing care. This article brings together insights from a unique group of stakeholders to explore the interaction between AI, the co-creation of data spaces and EHRs, and the role of the frontline nursing workforce. We identify the pre-conditions needed for successful deployment of AI and offer insights regarding the importance of co-creating the future European Health Data Space.
