2002年，超过11万人进入英国寻求庇护，五年内增加了250%。1儿童在寻求庇护者中至少占四分之一，他们面临许多心理障碍的风险因素，包括遭受暴力、被迫流离失所和多重损失。2难民儿童的精神健康问题发生率尚不确定，但为数不多的研究表明，难民儿童的发病率很高。[2]我们检查了英国难民儿童的心理障碍率，并将他们与一组来自少数民族但不是难民的儿童和一组土著白色儿童进行了比较。
In 2002, over 110 000 people entered Britain to seek asylum—a 250% increase in five years. 1 Children, who comprise at least a quarter of asylum seekers, are exposed to numerous risk factors for psychological disturbance, including exposure to violence, forced displacement, and multiple losses. 2 The rates of mental health problems in refugee children are uncertain, but the few studies that have been done suggest that refugee children incur significant morbidity. 2 We examined the rates of psychological disturbance in a sample of UK children who were refugees and compared them with a group of children who were from an ethnic minority but were not refugees and a group of indigenous white children.
