PSOAMLux event generates an actionable plan
PSOAMLux stands for Panel Study of Older and Ageing Migrants in Luxembourg. PSOAMLux is an event funded by the University of Luxembourg Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) through the BRAINSTORM instrument.
PSOAMLux brought together a group of international and local experts and community representatives to discuss ways forward in assessing and evaluating the life experience and healthcare needs of migrant older populations.
Presentations on pre-determined topics, for instance, “ageing and migration”, “digital health technology”, and “ethics, legal, and data-related” created a common knowledge base for the workgroup. This knowledge base was leveraged in a guided brainstorm discussion on four pre-determined questions:
- What are relevant theories, methodologies and practical issues to study?
- What are possibilities and obstacles to complementing self-reports with more objective data sources such as digital data and biomarkers?
- What are appropriate sampling and recruitment strategies?
- What ethical, legal and data-management issues need to be considered?
The event discussions have generated a rich knowledge base that the workgroup plans to use to further research, attract funding, and continute the discussion with different stake holders.
Updates will follow soon.
