Health of refugee children upon arrival in high-income countries: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Refugee children represent one of the most vulnerable population groups globally, facing higher health risks. This scoping review aimed to systematically identify, map, and synthesize recent evidence on the health outcomes of refugee children during the initial resettlement phases in high-income countries.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive search of major electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINHAL, EMBASE, Emcare, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify relevant peer-reviewed studies. The study selection processes adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for the Scoping Review guidelines. Furthermore, we applied the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework for scoping reviews to ensure methodological rigor
