“…Any resolution of this situation would thus entail some fundamental shifts in how the needs and characteristics of Arab-Palestinian young women are understood and responded to. When social policy is not committed to defending the rights of a population that is located so far outside Israeli mainstream, frontline services are left to resolve the moral deliberations that policymakers avoid (Levin and Nahum, 2022). This may result not only in inadequate or insufficiently supported service provision, but also in regulation that grows less and less relevant to real-world situations, and in increasingly inconsistent inspection.…”

Inspectors are the executing branch of state regulation. Existing literature focuses on their tasks and operations, mostly with regard to their commitments to the state and their complex relations with inspectees. The present study explores a heretofore-unexamined issue: the playing out of inspection in a sociopolitical context of national conflict and discriminatory majority-minority relations. Namely, it focuses on the work of inspectors of social services overseen by the Israeli welfare state but provided by local or contracted agencies, offered to one of the country’s most oppressed and marginalized populations: Arab-Palestinian young women. The research was based on interviews with 25 national and district inspectors in the field of services for young women in Israel, and reveals numerous barriers hindering effective inspection, resulting from having to inspect the implementation of universalist policy in a context of local needs; and the implementation of welfare policy in a context of national sociopolitical inequality. This is discussed in terms of the severe toll that color-blind and gender-blind policy can have on the feasibility of enforcing regulation, and on the potential to ensure that Arab-Palestinian young women receive adequate social services.

“…This verbal communication also has cultural nuances. This communication may be deficient when an asylum‐seeking parent and child are involved, due to language difficulties and different cultural perceptions related to the child's development (Levin & Nahum, 2022; Weitzman et al., 2022). In contrast, the study found that if only objective measures such as a physical examination or height and weight tests are used, then the rate of referrals among asylum‐seeking children is higher than among Israeli children.…”

Objective Asylum‐seeking children are most vulnerable to health problems and non‐utilization of health amenities. The aim of the study was to compare adherence with referrals for further diagnostic tests among asylum‐seeking children and native Israeli children. Design A retrospective cohort study. Sample The study was conducted among 3508 children born in 2016–2017, with two randomized sample groups: Israeli children (n = 243) and asylum‐seeking children (n = 271). Data were retrieved from the children's medical files. Measurements Referrals for further diagnostic tests were defined as written referrals by a public health nurse or pediatrician. Data collected included the child's and mother's details, as well as data on referrals. A multiple logistic regression test was performed to detect risk variables for non‐adherence to referrals. Results No differences were found between the groups regarding adherence to referrals for further diagnosis. Having medical insurance did not explain adherence to referrals. Asylum‐seeking children have more need for further follow‐up than do Israeli children. Conclusion Asylum‐seeking children and Israeli children respond similarly to the preventive health services offered with equal accessibility. Public health nurses have an essential role in encouraging adherence to screening tests and to referrals for further diagnostic tests and in mitigating health disparities among asylum‐seeking children.
