Are community-based interventions effective at improving mental health outcomes in refugee children and adolescents in high-income countries?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2024
Summary
Multiple epidemiological studies have shown an increased prevalence of adverse mental health outcomes in refugee populations and have highlighted children and adolescents to be particularly at risk. This commentary considers a Cochrane Review examining the efficacy of community-based interventions at improving the mental health of refugee children and adolescents in high-income countries. The review concludes that community-based interventions are ineffective at improving mental health in such populations. Notably, the data are limited by significant risk of bias and a small sample size. This article aims to critically appraise this systematic review, extrapolate implications for current practice and identify avenues for further research.
