What is it about?
Refugees have different health beliefs and attitudes in comparison to the populations amongst which they resettle. These beliefs have consequent effects on self-care behaviours, such as medication adherence. Therefore, it is so important to understand refugees beliefs about their health to deliver the maximum health care for this vulnerable population.

Perspectives
