Social participation and mental health among refugees
This report summarises the results from a survey of literature reviews that examined how the concept of social participation is described and applied in studies of refugees. It also explains the connection between social participation and various aspects of mental health. The literature review shows that access to society’s key dimensions is crucial for social participation and is important for the mental health of refugees. The results can form the basis for planning and design of initiatives. The target group is decision-makers, relevant authorities, non-profit organizations and researchers as well as other actors who have assignments in the areas of migration and health.
