Abstract
The escalation in global emergencies due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, and events like climate change has led to increased refugee crises. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that over 108.4 million people were forcibly displaced as of the end of 2022. Children make up 30 percent of the global population; however, they account for 40 percent of the total refugee population. Canada has resettled 218,417 refugees as permanent residents between 2016 and 2022. Among these, a significant proportion are children, who face significant health challenges, and arrive with unmet healthcare needs due to limited access to medical care. Health is a fundamental human right that directly impacts one’s ability to enjoy other rights. However, these children present with complex health challenges, including communicable diseases, malnutrition, trauma, and mental health-related conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. These health challenges are particularly acute for children from birth to five years, for whom early healthcare intervention(s) is needed to address health challenges. This is because, they encounter additional, specific health risks such as the lack of outdated or missed immunizations, developmental delays, high blood cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency, and malnutrition such as wasting and stunting. Left untreated, these conditions can persist throughout their lifetime, with long-term impacts. These health outcomes are further impacted by social determinants of health, such as access to housing, social support, and healthcare services. The rationale for using a scoping review is the limited knowledge about the health outcomes used by refugee-serving primary health centres and clinics in Canada, particularly concerning their impact on refugee children. Primary healthcare plays a vital role in addressing children’s health, from illness prevention to managing chronic conditions, and culturally safe care is crucial for reducing disparities among diverse populations. However, gaps exist in our knowledge and understanding hence, the scoping review will map the existing knowledge, identify key gaps, inform key analyses about health outcomes for refugee children, and provide insights to guide future research and practice. The review is guided the question: What is known about the outcomes used by refugee-serving primary health centres/clinics in meeting the healthcare needs of refugee children?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
