Refugee women, intimate partner violence and settlement: The first cohort study

亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)、战前创伤和社会困难可能会使难民妇女面临精神障碍的特别风险，包括抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍。心理健康状况不佳会影响社会功能，损害成功的解决办法。这项对1310名难民妇女(包括一组澳大利亚出生的妇女)的队列研究将能够对IPV和精神障碍的具体风险因素进行严格评估，从而指导最有效的干预措施。

Intimate partner violence (IPV), prior war trauma, and social hardship may place refugee women at particular risk of mental disorders including depression and PTSD. Poor mental health status can impact social functioning and impair successful settlement. This cohort study of 1310 refugee women ((including a comparison group of Australian born women) will enable a rigorous assessment of the specific risk factors for IPV and mental disorder, thereby guiding the most effective interventions.
