Declarations

:

: The nursing teams where informed about the study via written material provided to their team-leaders and discussed participation among themselves in advance. They consented to allow the first author to participate in their daily routines. In every first encounter they were again informed by the anthropologist about confidentiality, anonymization and the broad aim of the project to explore barriers and enablers of health care provision to refugees, especially regarding the implementation of the ASBA. Daily rotating physicians were informed verbally prior to their shifts. Also each patient was informed about the role of the anthropologist and explicitly agreed to have her present during their consultation. Where consent was not given, the anthropologist would leave the room. Also team-leaders of government administratives were informed about the study and discussed with their teams. Health professionals and government administratives were provided with written and/or verbal information during recruitment and signed consent forms prior to their interviews. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University (S-287/2017).
