Everyday life experiences and mental health among conflict-affected forced migrants: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are a growing number of forced migrants worldwide. Early detection of poor adjustment and interventions to facilitate positive adaptation within these communities is a critical global public health priority. A growing literature points to challenges within the post-migration context as key determents of poor mental health.

Aims

The current meta-analysis evaluated the association between daily stressors and poor mental health among these populations.

Method

A systematic search in PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science identified relevant studies from inception until the end of 2018. Effect sizes (correlation coefficients) were pooled using Fisher's Z transformation and reported with 95% confidence intervals. Moderator and mediator analyses were conducted
