  • Since its early stages, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed immense challenges in meeting the public health and healthcare and social care needs of migrants. In line with other reports from United Kingdom and United States, data from Sweden's health authority show that migrants have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Following the World Health Organization's statements, as well as the European Public Health Association's call for action, several centres in Sweden's most populated areas have activated tools to implement national plans for community outreach through initiatives targeting migrants and ethnic minority groups. Unconventional means should be promoted to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on migrants and the health of the public at large.

  • Even though social intervention in child abuse has begun in Korean society, there are many problems in terms of basic principles of child welfare services. Focusing on the principle of family preservation in child welfare services, this comparative study reviewed services for abused children and their families in the USA and Sweden. Results indicated directions for effective services for abused children are comprehensive and should be provided by community resources. Comprehensive services and follow-up of reported cases should be managed by public agencies and community networks. Education curricula for professionals and inter-disciplinary collaboration should be organized. A most important task in the future is to set up firm laws and policies for effective services in Korean society.
