Prevalence and associated factors for poor mental health among young migrants in Sweden: a cross-sectional study

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of poor mental health among young migrants in Sweden was high, with specific subgroups (women, asylum seekers, people arriving from Syria, and those residing longer in Sweden) being particularly vulnerable. Our results indicate the interconnectedness between poor mental health and sexual risk behaviour in this population. Thus, policies targeting young migrants should ensure that healthcare services screen for both poor sexual and mental health at the same time.PMID:38180014 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2294592
