The number of refugees living in Norway will soon reach 200.000. Currently, half of the asylum seekers to Norway are from Syria, and most of them obtain permanent refugee status. Little is known about their total burden of disease, how somatic and mental health change during the migration phases and how best to provide adequate health services to this growing group.
Among adult asylum seekers and refugees from Syria following different migration paths to Norway, our study aims to investigate their 1) Burden of somatic and mental health problems*** 2) Associations between mental and somatic health*** 3) Self-reported health (SRH), quality of life (QOL), health care access and unmet healthcare needs*** 4) Association between SRH and QOL and health care access and needs.
Data will be collected through questionnaires and personal interviews. Our study will provide valuable information for the development of appropriate and equitable health services for asylum seekers and refugees.
