A European Project on Health Problems, Mental Disorders and Cross-Cultural Aspects of Developing Effective Rehabilitation Procedures for Refugee and Immigrant Youth

The project is an international comparative study on risk and protective factors of adolescent health and well-being, with particular focus on youth with immigrant (or refugee) experience. This is a comprehensive study on the quality of life and health outcomes of adolescent youth that looks at group-specific differences within different socio-cultural contexts across six European countries, including those of post-conflict communities. The research project combines both quantitative and qualitative methods, using a common set-up across all countries involved with the goal of collecting data on 3, 500 adolescents that are strictly comparable to allow cross-country analyses. It is particularly at increasing the understanding of acculturation processes of a particularly sensitive population of adolescent refugees and immigrant and of the influence that the interaction of contextual and developmental factors has on their mental health and psychological well-being.
