Robjant, Katy, Rita Hassan and Cornelius Katona.  2009.  "Mental Health Implications of Detaining Asylum Seekers: Systematic Review."  British Journal of Psychiatry 194 (4): 306-12.

 


Abstract:

 

The authors sought to investigate the association between being detained and an increased prevalence of mental health issues among asylum seekers.  They reviewed 10 studies and determined that "(f)indings from these studies consistently support an association between the experience of immigration detention practices and poor mental health. This association has been demonstrated using a variety of research methods with individuals detained in varying contexts in the UK, Australia and the USA, comprising individuals of all ages and from different ethnic groups" (p. 310).
