Health and ill-health in undocumented migrants in Sweden
 
About the project
The overall object of this study is to describe the health situation of undocumented migrants in Sweden, a heterogenous but vulnerable and marginalized group living without a formal right to stay in the country. Little is known about their health status of this group, estimated to consist of between 10,000 and 50,000 individuals. This study will investigate the health of undocumented migrants with particular focus on self-reported physical and mental health, social and psychological functioning and coping-strategies as well as experiences of undocumented migrants about how their health needs are met. The findings aims at enhancing knowledge and improve the possibilities to satisfy the health needs of this vulnerable group.
