Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction The global rise in forced displacement has led to an increase in occupational injustices among individuals seeking refuge, often due to restrictions imposed by government policies. Involvement in community groups has been identified as a means of inclusion, highlighting the broader role of communities in this context.Aim This scoping review aimed to identify the types of community-based groups and their potential to reduce experiences of occupational deprivation for asylum seekers, refugees, and other forcibly displaced populations.Method The scoping review followed a five-stage framework. Seven databases were searched, encompassing articles published from January 2000 to January 2023.Results A three-stage search strategy yielded 1,355 results. Following screening, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings indicated that community-based groups included community development projects (n = 5), community gardens (n = 4), sports-based community groups (n = 3), and community creative art groups (n = 3). Each demonstrated ability to enhance a sense of belonging and well-being for asylum seekers, refugees, and other forcibly displaced populations through engaging them in diverse occupations alongside local community members.Conclusion Occupational participation and engagement play a vital role in the resettlement process. Findings from occupationally focused studies provide evidence with which to challenge potentially oppressive systems by engaging with governments, non-governmental organisations, allied healthcare professions, and communities to support the inclusion of asylum seekers, refugees, and other forcibly displaced populations.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
