Funded Activity Summary

What can we learn from resettled refugees' ability to adapt to extreme weather disasters? Between 2008 and 2010, the SettleMEN project documented the health and settlement outcomes of 233 refugee men living in urban and regional areas of Southeast Queensland. Some of these men lived in or close to areas that were affected by the January 2011 floods. This follow-up study aims at investigating longer-term settlement and the impact of the floods on this group of refugee men and their families
