Abstract

Iraqi refugees who present as mental health clients provide an educational challenge due to the severity of their problems. In a previous study, we found elevated levels of poor health and mental health in Iraqi refugees. The objectives of the present study were to replicate and to explore potential root causes of such elevation.
