Belonging, discrimination, and risk in displacement
Background: Understanding the mental health challenges of refugee adolescents is critical for informing targeted educational policies and interventions. Yet few studies identify which school-based factors most strongly relate to their resilience and well-being. This study draws on a multi-informant dataset from 170 refugee students attending school in Greece, applying Bayesian variable selection to identify key predictors of mental health outcome…
Depressive symptoms in higher education students during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. An examination of the association with various social risk factors across multiple high- and middle-inc…
Higher-education students face substantial risks for developing depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic or experiencing exacerbated pre-existing depressive symptoms. This study uses data from the COVID-19 International Student Well-Being Study, which collected data through a non-representative convenience sample in 125 higher-education institutions (HEI) across 26 high- and middle-income countries (N: 20,103) during the first wave of the…
Non-communicable Diseases among Refugee Claimants in Greek Refugee Camps
Little is known about the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among newly arrived refugees in Europe and whether their medical needs are met. To elucidate the prevalence of NCDs and unmet medical needs in the different migration phases, we used survey data on 267 adult asylum seekers at Greek refugee camps in 2016. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, we estimated determinants for unmet medical needs in Greece. The most prevale…
Experiences of Discrimination and Self-reported Health
Asylum seekers and refugees are confronted with multiple challenges before, during and after their flight from their home countries. The aim of this article is to shed more light on the distinct relationship between experiences of discrimination and self-reported health. On the basis of the REHEAL (Refugee Health) data, we are able to distinguish different reasons of discrimination, such as ethnicity, language or religion, as well as when the dis…
Questionnaire Design and Translation for Refugee Populations
Surveying the refugee population poses particular challenges: what measurement and culture effects need to be taken into account? Are some of the constructs related to refugees unique or can constructs used in other surveys be adapted? Due to considerable variation in educational background, in trauma history or in perception of ethnicity or gender roles in refugee populations, one needs to raise the question whether a one-size-fits-all approach …
New Perspectives on the European Refugee Crisis. An Empirical Review. Introduction to the special issue
The current Special Issue in the Journal of Refugee Studies provides new evidence about refugees’ situation in first-reception and final-destination countries in Europe. It empirically reviews mental health screening and survey methodology tools for refugee populations, integration conditions and attitudes of host societies. It also provides a comparative overview of asylum policies and media discourses about the refugee crisis in Europe and high…
Safety, Health and Trauma among Newly Arrived Refugees in Greece
This study identifies factors that affect safety, health and trauma among refugees and asylum seekers newly arrived and accommodated in Greece. The data of this study was collected from the REHEAL (Refugees’ Healing) project—a population-based survey conducted in six Greek refugee camps during the summer of 2016. We specified two binary logistic-regression models—one for safety and a second for health—as well as a multiple linear-regression model…
Asylum-seeking Parents’ Reports of Health Deterioration in Their Children since Fleeing Their Home Country
More than 50,000 asylum seekers scattered across Greece were waiting to have their cases processed in February 2016. Using unique survey data collected in six Greek refugee camps at the time, this article explores the health of asylum-seeking children as assessed by their parents. More than half of the parents reported that children’s health had deteriorated considerably or greatly since commencing their flight and the longer the time spent in Gr…
