About project

After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Europe faced the largest influx of forced migrants since World War II. Many European countries opened their borders, offered support and help to refugees.

In response to the need for a deeper understanding of access to medical services among migrants, the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the WHO Representation in Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Czech Republic initiated a social study on the adaptation of policies, programs and communication in the field of health care.

The project was implemented by NGO Research Bureau “Sociologist” in cooperation with Yasno R&C Group specialists.

Our decision

The method of in-depth interviews was chosen to implement the social research.

For each of the countries – Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Czech Republic – the project was implemented in two stages: 20-25 in-depth interviews were conducted at the first stage and 12-15 in-depth interviews after 3-6 months.

Participants were recruited taking into account age characteristics, level of education, place of residence and social status.

The project was implemented during 2022-2023.

Results

The results of the study provided insight into the perceptions, experiences and barriers to accessing health services among Ukrainian refugees.

The data obtained helped WHO and partners identify key cultural and behavioral factors influencing the coverage of health services and adapt policies and programs to meet the real needs of displaced people.

Our services

Yasno Research & Consulting Group has a deep expertise in conducting international social research. We work with topics that require special attention, empathy and analytical precision, such as access to health services for vulnerable groups, the needs of refugees, and barriers to integration. Our experience in cooperation with international foundations and public organizations allows us to effectively implement research in complex humanitarian, political and cultural contexts.

In this case, we analyzed the behavioral patterns and barriers of Ukrainian refugees in Europe – a task that requires not only methodological flexibility, but also ethical responsibility. We have the skills to work with different groups – regardless of language, status or region, adapting research to the real context of the people it relates to.

Yasno Research & Consulting Group specialists use both qualitative (interviews, focus groups, ethnography) and quantitative (surveys, questionnaires, online panels) methods. Thanks to the combination of academic culture, applied practice and a strategic approach, we create research that helps make decisions.

We work with international partners in Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Georgia, the USA and other countries. Our strength is in accuracy and understanding of the cultural context. If you represent an international organization, research center or foundation and are looking for experienced partners for data collection, analytics, implementation of humanitarian research, we are open to cooperation.
