Dr. Yves Jackson is an Assistant Professor at the University of Geneva's Faculty of Medicine, working within the LIVES Centre (Interdisciplinary Centre for Research on Life Course and Vulnerabilities). His research focuses on vulnerable populations, particularly undocumented migrants in Switzerland, examining the intersection of legal status, health outcomes, and social determinants of health.
His educational background includes medical training (MD), which informs his public health research approach. Dr. Jackson has established himself as a leading researcher on migrant health in Switzerland, with particular expertise in the health impacts of regularization processes for undocumented workers.
Dr. Jackson's research portfolio demonstrates consistent productivity with numerous publications annually, primarily examining health inequalities among undocumented migrants. His work often employs longitudinal methodologies to track changes in health status following regularization, with particular attention to mental health outcomes, access to healthcare services, and social determinants of health. He has also conducted significant research on Chagas disease among Latin American migrant populations in Switzerland.
His publication record shows a strong emphasis on policy-relevant research, with many studies directly addressing Swiss migration and health policies. The articles demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches, combining medical, sociological, and public health perspectives to understand complex health challenges faced by vulnerable populations.
Dr. Jackson frequently collaborates with Claudine Burton-Jeangros, Jan-Erik Refle, and other researchers at the University of Geneva, contributing to a robust research program on migration and health. His work has been published in high-impact journals across public health, migration studies, and medical disciplines.
His research has practical implications for health policy, particularly regarding equitable access to healthcare services for undocumented populations and the health consequences of migration status regularization. Dr. Jackson's work contributes significantly to understanding how legal frameworks impact health outcomes for vulnerable populations in Switzerland.
