Safe but isolated - an interview study with Iraqi refugees in Sweden about social networks, social support, and mental health

Maria Sundvall et al.

Summary: This study examined the social networks and social support of Iraqi refugees who arrived in Sweden after 2000, finding that their networks were diminished with support mainly coming from family and authorities. Challenges included weakened social networks, integration barriers, and cultural and religious belonging. Mental health problems were common, with family issues more associated with poor mental health than integration difficulties. Refuges' well-being could be strengthened by supporting their social networks and addressing post-migration problems and challenges.
