4 The Displaced Persons Act 1948 Helped victims of Nazi persecution (primarily Germany, Austria, and Italy) Permanent residency and employment without making someone give up their current job Allowed to bring family as long as they were good citizens and provided financially for themselves Orphans under age 16 also allowed Expired in 1953.
5 The Refugee Relief Act (RRA) 1953 Special non quota visas apportioned to three classes, along with members of their immediate family: refugees (those unable to return to their homes in a communist or communist-dominated country because of persecution, fear of persecution, natural calamity or military operations ), escapees (refugees who had left a communist country fearing persecution on account of race, religion, or political opinion ), and German expellees (ethnic Germans then living in West Germany, West Berlin, or Austria who had been forced to flee from territories dominated by communists).
6 RRA 1953 Defined refugees as people who lack "the essentials of life." In order to be eligible for admission, refugees were required to evidence a guarantee of a home and job by a U.S. resident. Admission of 214,000 immigrants to the U.S. 60,000 Italians, 17,000 Greeks, 17,000 Dutch and 45,000 immigrants from communist countries The act expired in 1956.
7 RRA 1953 Later laws provided for persons fleeing Communist regimes from Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia, Korea and China, and in the 1960s Cubans fleeing Fidel Castro. Refugees were assisted by private ethnic and religious organizations in the U.S., which formed the base for the public-private roles in U.S. resettlement efforts today. n 1955, Edward Corsi, who had been appointed to administer the act, was dismissed, accused of association with a Communist-affiliated group.
8 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 1965 Dramatic change in American immigration policy, abandoning the concept of national quotas and establishing the basis for extensive immigration from the developing world. Replacing national origins quotas with hemispheric caps 170,000 from the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 from the Western Hemisphere.
9 INA: New Scale of Preferences 1. Unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens (20 percent); 2. Spouses and unmarried adult children (20 percent); 3. Professionals, scientists, and artists of exceptional talent (10 percent); 4. Married children of U.S. citizens (10 percent); 5. U.S. citizens siblings 21 years of age (24 percent); 6. Skilled and unskilled workers in areas where labor was needed (10 percent); and
10 INA Those who because of persecution or fear of persecution... have fled from any Communist or Communist-dominated country or area, or from any country within the general area of the Middle East (6 percent).
11 Refugee Act of 1980 Created the Federal Refugee Resettlement Program to provide for the effective resettlement of refugees and to assist them to achieve economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible after arrival in the United States. Title IV, chapter 2 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Federal funding became available to states to develop refugee resettlement programs. Funding for recommended domestic health exams
12 National Refugee Arrivals Since 1975, the U.S. has resettled more than 3 million refugees, with nearly 77 percent being either Indochinese or citizens of the former Soviet Union. Since the enactment of the Refugee Act of 1980, annual admissions figures have ranged from a high of 207,116 in 1980, to a low of 27,100 in 2002.
13 Presidential Determination Each year, the President of the United States, after consulting with Congress and the appropriate agencies, determines the designated nationalities and processing priorities for refugee resettlement for the upcoming year. The President also sets annual ceilings on the total number of refugees who may enter the U.S. from each region of the world.

28 RCUSA Enhance the capacity, voice and effectiveness of member organizations to advance a mutually agreed upon common agenda of protection and meaningful welcome; advocate globally for the protection, integration and rights of refugees and other populations who are forcibly displaced and at risk; and build excellence in the U.S. refugee resettlement program through the collaboration of member organizations.
29 State Coordinator Associations SCORR State Coordinators of Refugee Resettlement Mostly in State Human Services Agencies Coordinates funding to: Resettlement Agencies CBO s and MAA s Refugee Health ARHC Association of Refugee Health Coordinators Mostly in State Health Departments Each state program is unique in approach Works closely with Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
30 Challenges for ARHC Domestic screening is recommended only. State discretion allowed for expectations of quality and quantity of screenings accomplished. Great state variability in comprehensiveness of screenings. Follow up care post screening expected but not funded. Federal leadership with minimal medical or Public Health backgrounds to guide ARHC.
31 Challenges Turn over rate in RHC positions, some states opt out completely! Many RHC s have numerous other unrelated responsibilities. Association has been 100% volunteer run. Difficult to undertake projects, studies, surveys etc. as this is time away from state refugee health program responsibilities.
32 Enhancing Partnerships for Refugee Health Refugee medical screening, to include translating CDC recommendations to operational guidance for state programs Surveillance, to develop recommendations and implementation strategies for a comprehensive domestic refugee health tracking, notification and surveillance system Health education and health communication, to develop strategic guidance and recommendations to respond to public health information needs of refugees, with a particular focus on newly arriving populations
33 Medical Screening
34 Medical Screening Recommendations Develop minimum recommended standards for screening Develop a universal screening form (template) Encourage participation from all state programs Develop a national Refugee Health Provider Guide Create an ARHC website to promote shared materials
35 Universal Screening Form Format Options Paper Fill-able word document with active hyperlinks to CDC resources Smart Sets/Order Sets to be adapted for electronic medical records.
36 Strategic Guidance for States Secure stable funding Develop a state protocol for screening Identify clinics to perform screening exam Arrival notification system Develop a state database for screening results Establish relationships with key stakeholders
37 National Pocket Guide or App
38 Improved Surveillance
39 Surveillance Identify capacity of state programs Identify gaps in data collection Identify barriers to data collection Identify minimal standards for data collection Assist states to access a refugee health data base
40 Health Education Operational Guidance
41 Health Education and Communication Develop best practices in refugee health education (engagement, effectiveness, cultural literacy venue, etc.) Seek national leadership to reduce redundancy of health education development. Develop guidance for successful integration of refugees in state plans for Emergency Preparedness Partner with overseas colleagues to work collaboratively on health education creating a continuum of education familiar on both sides of the ocean.
