Refugees are individuals who live outside of their country and are at increased risk of mental health problems. Even though many papers assessed Refugees' mental health, few intended to evaluate in remote areas, such as refugee camps. On this study we assessed 102 individuals who lives in the Dzaleka Refugee Camp - Malawi. We found 78% of individuals with probable depression, 53% with thoughts about death, 25.5% with suicidal plans, and 15% reporting having attempted suicide in the 12 months prior to the assessment. This data points out to an urgent political mobilization to promote mental health to this vulnerable population.
难民是指生活在自己国家以外的人群，他们面临更高的心理健康问题风险。尽管许多论文评估了难民的心理健康状况，但很少有研究旨在评估偏远地区的难民，如难民营。在这项研究中，我们评估了生活在马拉维 Dzaleka 难民营的 102 个人。我们发现，78%的人可能患有抑郁症，53%的人有死亡念头，25.5%的人有自杀计划，15%的人在评估前 12 个月曾试图自杀。这些数据表明，迫切需要政治动员，为这一弱势群体促进心理健康。
