Declarations
:
: A legal guardian was assigned to each URM by the municipality that provided written consent for the required diagnostic procedures and therapeutic recommendations. Because of the high rate of URM illiteracy, formal written consent was not always obtained from the patients. Diagnostics and therapy were discussed with the patients through support of a professional interpreter, or else by someone speaking a shared language when a professional interpreter was not readily available. Inpatient and outpatient treatment were made possible through government-provided health insurance. This allowed URMs to obtain healthcare comparable to that received by nonimmigrant children in Germany. The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Freiburg as a non-interventional study (No. 340/18).
