Abstract: My post-doctoral research project is entitled: “Exploring the contextual and individual factors shaping unmet health needs among unaccompanied minors (UMs): a mixed methods comparative study in Montreal and Paris”. Collecting and analysing clinical, quantitative and qualitative data with unaccompanied minors (i.e., foreign minors settling in host countries without the care of a parent or legal guardian) in these two migration hubs, I will be keen on highlighting the various barriers to adequate health and social care provision and how these issues may affect UMs integration in host societies.
