La Santé de l'homme devoted a special feature to "What Kind of Health Education for Migrants?" in its January-February 2002 issue (No. 357). The "Further Reading" section of this feature explored in depth the intercultural approach in educational and health promotion initiatives. For this section, we have focused our literature review primarily on shedding light for the reader of this special issue on the sources of vulnerability among migrant populations in terms of health. In the first part, several references provide a bibliography and general data on immigrant populations in France. The second part lists several studies on migrant health. Their access to care and their medical and psychosocial support are the subject of the third section. Finally, the bibliographic section is supplemented by several thematic approaches that resonate with the articles in this issue. A list of journals dealing entirely or in part with migrant health and several intervention tools are provided. A list of resource organizations and websites completes the section.[article excerpt]
