    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to increase knowledge, using population-based registers, of how pre- and post-migration factors and social determinants of health are associated with inequalities in mental health and mortality among refugees and other immigrants to Sweden. It addressed four research questions: (1) Are there differences in mental health status between refugees and non-refugee immigrants, and could the hypothesised differences explain mental health differences between immigrants from different countries or areas of origin? (2) Do refugee immigrants have higher mortality rates than non-refugee immigrants? (3) Does the combination of general social determinants of health and post-migration factors increase inequalities among men and women in the relative risk of hospitalisation because of depressive disorder? (4) Are there gender differences in how pre- and post-migration factors and social determinants of health are associated with mental health among immigrants? Study I & II had cross-sectional designs and used logistic regression analysis to study differences in mental health status between refugee and non-refugee immigrants. LÄS MER
