Funded Activity Summary

Refugee men are commonly portrayed in negative contexts: domestic violence, unemployment, alcohol abuse. This study will follow up 242 adult refugee men to investigate their physical and mental health, and the social and cultural issues they face as they negotiate their settlement in a new country. The study will identify ways in which refugee men can best be assisted to ensure they are healthier, settle successfully, and develop their full potential as active members of the Australian community
