Abstract

An Examination of the State of Refugee Mental Health in the Nations of the Global North

Atharva Zhainagul*

Refugees' mental health is significantly impacted by post-migration factors. The role of place in refugee mental health is examined in this scoping review. 34 studies on place characteristics in high-income countries in the Global North's cities, neighborhoods, rural areas, and nations were included. Despite the fact that the role of place is still poorly understood, all studies have found similarities that support a close connection between the place of residence and the outcomes of refugee mental health and wellbeing in the context of post-migration. Given that refugees frequently have little or no control over where they ultimately reside, we propose that future research should concentrate on how location-specific factors influence the risks, safeguards, and outcomes for post-migration refugee mental health.
