“…In this study snowball sampling (Wright & Stein, ) was used to select participants because the information available on the immigrant population in Portugal does not allow constructing sampling frames for representative population‐based surveys. This method has been widely recognized as feasible for use when attempting to study hard‐to‐reach populations, which include immigrant subgroups, like those undocumented and recently arrived, who are the most vulnerable and yet the most understudied (Sadler et al ., ).…”

Migration has been associated with a greater vulnerability in health. Migrants, especially women, go through several experiences during the migration process and in the host countries that ultimately put their health at risk. This study examines self-reported health status and preventive behaviors among female and male immigrants in Portugal, and identifies sociodemographic and behavioral factors underlying gender differences. A sample of 1375 immigrants (51.1% women) was studied. Data were analyzed through logistic regression. Good health status was reported by 66.7% of men and by 56.6% of women (P < 0.001). Gender differences were also found across preventative behaviors. Among women and men, reported good health was associated with younger age, African and Brazilian origin (compared to Eastern European), secondary/higher education, no chronic disease, and concern about eating habits. Among women, good health was also associated with perceived sufficient income, no experience of mental illness, and regular physical exercise. When developing health programs to improve immigrants' health, special attention must be given to existing gender inequalities, and socioeconomic and cultural context, in accordance with their experience of living in the host country over time.

“…Participants were also asked to identify their sectoral background and the country in which they were based. The success of the survey relied on a "snowball sampling strategy" (Wright and Stein, 2005) whereby participants involved in the Phase 1 workshop were asked to circulate the survey to palm oil related contacts within their respective networks. In order to facilitate participation from as many stakeholders as possible the survey was open for 60 days running from 13 May to 12 July 2015.…”
