Abstract

Many Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) are living in low-income countries and little research has been done to understand this population in these particular settings. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and resilience in Eritrean unaccompanied refugee minors living with foster parents in Sudan.
