1. Common mental health problems in immigrants and refugees: general approach in primary care

   Laurence J. Kirmayer, Lavanya Narasiah, Maria L. Muñoz, et al. · 2010 · Canadian Medical Association Journal · 1,523 cites

   BACKGROUND: Recognizing and appropriately treating mental health problems among new immigrants and refugees in primary care poses a challenge because of differences in language and culture and because of specific stressors associated with migration and resettlement. We aimed to identify risk factors and strategies in the approach to mental health assessment and to prevention and treatment of common mental health problems for immigrants in primary care. METHODS: We searched and compiled literature on prevalence and risk factors for common mental health problems related to migration, the effect of cultural influences on health and illness, and clinical strategies to improve mental health care

2. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

   Rhoda Margesson, Johanna Bockman · 2014 · International Year Book and Statesmen's Who's Who · 1,509 cites

   Report on an office directed to protect and coordinate aid to refugees, including current challenges, resource availability, asylum crisis, and more.

3. Long-term mental health of war-refugees: a systematic literature review

   Marija Bogić, Anthony Njoku, Stefan Priebe · 2015 · BMC International Health and Human Rights · 1,186 cites

   BACKGROUND: There are several million war-refugees worldwide, majority of whom stay in the recipient countries for years. However, little is known about their long-term mental health. This review aimed to assess prevalence of mental disorders and to identify their correlates among long-settled war-refugees. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of studies that assessed current prevalence and/or factors associated with depression and anxiety disorders in adult war-refugees 5 years or longer after displacement. We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PILOTS from their inception to October 2014, searched reference lists, and contacted experts. Because of a high heterogeneity betw

4. Migrants’ and refugees’ health status and healthcare in Europe: a scoping literature review

   Adele Lebano, Sarah Hamed, Hannah Bradby, et al. · 2020 · BMC Public Health · 735 cites

   BACKGROUND: There is increasing attention paid to the arrival of migrants from outwith the EU region to the European countries. Healthcare that is universally and equably accessible needs to be provided for these migrants throughout the range of national contexts and in response to complex and evolving individual needs. It is important to look at the evidence available on provision and access to healthcare for migrants to identify barriers to accessing healthcare and better plan necessary changes. METHODS: This review scoped 77 papers from nine European countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain, and Sweden) in English and in country-specific languages in order

6. Refugee Migration and Electoral Outcomes

   Christian Dustmann, Kristīne Vasiļjeva, Anna Piil Damm · 2018 · The Review of Economic Studies · 469 cites

   Abstract To estimate the causal effect of refugee migration on voting outcomes in parliamentary and municipal elections in Denmark, our study is the first that addresses the key problem of immigrant sorting by exploiting a policy that assigned refugee immigrants to municipalities on a quasi-random basis. We find that in all but the most urban municipalities, allocation of larger refugee shares between electoral cycles leads to an increase in the vote share for right-leaning parties with an anti-immigration agenda, and we show large differences in voters’ responses to refugee allocation according to pre-policy municipal characteristics. However, in the largest and urban municipalities, refuge

7. The Labor Market Integration of Refugee Migrants in High-Income Countries

   Courtney Brell, Christian Dustmann, Ian Preston · 2020 · The Journal of Economic Perspectives · 446 cites

   We provide an overview of the integration of refugees into the labor markets of a number of high-income countries. Discussing the ways in which refugees and economic migrants are differently selected and so might be expected to perform differently in a host country’s labor market, we examine employment and wages for these groups over time after arrival. There is significant heterogeneity between host countries, but in general, refugees experience persistently worse outcomes than other migrants. While the gaps between the groups can be seen to decrease on a timescale of a decade or two, this is more pronounced in employment rates than it is in wages. We also discuss how refugees are distinct

8. Migrants’ and refugees’ health: towards an agenda of solutions

   Stephen A. Matlin, Anneliese Depoux, Stefanie Schütte, et al. · 2018 · Public health reviews · 246 cites

   Despite the greatly increased numbers of migrants and refugees worldwide in recent years, insufficient attention has been paid to addressing their health needs. While a variety of international instruments assert the right to health, in practice, migrants and refugees—especially those awaiting clarification of their status, such as asylum seekers and those without documentation—often fall in cracks between service providers and humanitarian relief programmes at national and regional levels. This report provides a summary of the current state of knowledge regarding the health issues of migrants and refugees and of the extent to which they are being met. It highlights, through a series of case
