Recommended components of refugee domestic health assessments

• Review all available records, including chest radiograph (ask for overseas records)

• Complete a history and physical examination, including vision, hearing, and dental evaluation

• Conduct mental health screening and, when clinically indicated, a more detailed social history, including any history of trauma, torture, or rape

• Evaluate for infectious disease, including tuberculosis, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and malaria and other parasitic infections (schistosomiasis and intestinal nematodes, including Strongyloides), depending on local epidemiology

• Review overseas records for presumptive therapy for strongyloidiasis, schistosomiasis, or malaria, depending on point of departure

• Evaluate for chronic diseases, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 deficiency in select populations

• Perform age-appropriate cancer screening, such as mammography, colonoscopy, or Papanicolaou test

• Update immunizations as needed

• Complete laboratory testing as clinically appropriate: hematologic testing, urinalysis, lead, HIV testing, hepatitis B testing for those arriving from countries with prevalence >2%, specific sexually transmitted infection testing, or other screening, such as basic metabolic panel and liver function testing
