Eritrean refugees in Switzerland cohort study
The Eritrean refugees in Switzerland Cohort Study aims to assess the physical and mental health status and resilience of Eritrean migrants upon their arrival in Switzerland. The initial cohort, recruited in 2016, comprised 107 participants, including 95 males and 12 females, all of whom had been in Switzerland for less than a year. One year later, a follow-up was conducted with 48 participants from the original cohort.
