Description

The Refugee Health and Integration Survey (ReHIS) collects primary data on psychosocial conditions and mental health of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees who have arrived in Austria since 2011. Additionally, access and barriers to public facilities, i.e. care and counseling services for health and integration, are surveyed. Thereby, ReHIS aims to investigate the reciprocal effect between the structural (i.e. economic), social, and cultural integration of refugees and their psychosocial health.
