Bridging Cultures-Comparison between refugees from war and non-war countries v2

Since 2015 an increasing number of refugee children arrived in Germany. The federal government aims to facilitate these children’s access to German culture and language as early as possible. So-called Bridging Projects have been established to facilitate refugee children’s transition to public daycare centers. In this part of our study we focused on teacher reports (CTRF 1.5-5) of 116 young children aged 1.5 to 5 years of age from war vs. non-war torn countries and compared the groups regarding their mental health patterns and prevalence rates.
