本研究的目的是比较无人陪伴的难民未成年人(URM)与移民/难民(I/R)和荷兰(本国)青少年在父母照看下(N=3273)的心理困扰、行为问题和创伤应激反应的严重程度以及经历。采用自填式问卷调查。大多数评估是在学校进行的。URMS在内化问题、创伤性应激反应和应激生活事件方面的得分一直显著高于所有其他组。在报告心理困扰、行为问题和创伤应激反应方面，性别在原住民和I/R样本中似乎扮演着重要的角色。年龄越大，得分越高，只有URM组得分越高。当地人在外部性问题上的得分比其他组高。据报道，城市居民经历的压力生活事件是I/R和原住民的两倍。与与家庭成员、移民或荷兰青少年一起生活的难民青少年相比，URM患精神病的风险似乎要高得多。
The objective of this study is to make comparisons of the severity of the psychological distress, behavioral problems and traumatic stress reactions, and experiences of unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) with immigrant/refugee (I/R) and Dutch (native) adolescents with parental caregivers (N = 3273). Self-report questionnaires were administered. Most assessments took place at school. URMs consistently reported significantly higher scores for internalizing problems, traumatic stress reactions, and stressful life events than all other groups. Gender appears to play an important role in the native and I/R samples in reporting psychological distress, behavioral problems, and traumatic stress reactions. Older age was significantly related to higher scores only in the URM group. Natives scored higher on externalizing problems than the other groups. URMs reported to have experienced twice as many stressful life events than I/Rs and natives. URMs appear to be at significantly higher risk for the development of psychopathology than refugee adolescents living with a family member, immigrants, or Dutch adolescents.
