The mental health status of refugee children and adolescents has received scant scholarly attention despite the fact that they are at high risk of developing mental health problems. The present study will be the first of its kind undertaken in Australia. It will provide data on the prevalence of mental health problems affecting refugee children and adolescents in South Australia, the level of disability associated with these problems and the extent to which children and adolescents are receiving appropriate help. The absence of this information greatly hinders the development of intervention strategies to help refugee children and adolescents. Results will be used to inform mental health policy and program development and service delivery.

难民儿童和青少年的心理健康状况很少受到学术界的关注，尽管他们很有可能出现心理健康问题。目前的研究将是在澳大利亚进行的第一次此类研究。它将提供数据，说明影响南澳难民儿童和青少年的精神健康问题的普遍程度、与这些问题有关的残疾程度以及儿童和青少年得到适当帮助的程度。缺乏这方面的资料极大地妨碍了制定帮助难民儿童和青少年的干预战略。研究结果将用于为心理健康政策和计划的制定和服务提供提供信息。
