Talking the walk and walking the talk: A descriptive follow-up study of refugee mens health, wellbeing and resettlement. [ 2006 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Ignacio Correa-Velez (Principal investigator)

Brief description Although a significant proportion of refugees resettled in Australia are men, the health needs of male refugees remain largely unknown. This descriptive follow-up study aims to examine in depth, the health, well-being and resettlement experiences of 233 adult Sudanese and Iraqi refugee men living in the Melbourne metropolitan area. Participants will be followed-up four times per year for three years using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The study will produce evidence based knowledge of those aspects of health and wellbeing that are important for refugee men, and the identification of elements-resources that support refugee men during resettlement.
