Exploring the Use of Hospital and Community Mental Health Services Among Newly Resettled Refugees.

Importance

Resettled refugees in high-income countries represent a vulnerable population. It is known that refugees have high rates of trauma-related mental health issues; however, ad hoc research has generally revealed low rates of health services use among refugees.
