Social Perception of Mental Illness: a Study About Health Care Practices Among Refugees Kalifala Donzo

Health is a multidimensional phenomenon. It has both objective and subjective dimensions. In refugee camps and many other settings, there are various explanatory views as what constitute health and mental illness. Due to poor health care practices in sub-Sahara Africa and many parts of the world and also lack of reliable and consistent statistics,this study examines the various health care practices and causality of mental illness among refugees. For a more reliable, adequate and consistent statistical data on mental illness and health care practices among refugees, a guide through this research work will be important.
