“…Research among forced migrants (Ai, Peterson, & Huang, 2003; Benson, Sun, Hodge, & Androff, 2012; Gozdziak, 2002) as well as among other groups impacted by traumatic events (Currier, Mallot, Martinez, Sandy, & Neimeyer, 2013; Johnstone, Hanks et al, 2017; Johnstone, Yoon et al, 2012; Park et al, 2017; Stratta et al, 2013; Toussaint et al, 2017) examines relationships between religion, trauma, and coping. Mental health symptoms often result from the trauma experienced prior to forced migration as well as difficulties experienced during transit and while in countries of first asylum (Afifi et al, 2016; Berzengi, Berzenji, Kadim, Mustafa, & Jobson, 2017; Hutson et al, 2016; Thomas, Roberts, Luitel, Upadhaya, & Tol, 2011). Religion may facilitate coping with stress, depression, and anxiety (Koenig et al, 2012; Levin, 2010) through providing a source of meaning and easing adjustment (Gozdziak, 2002; Hipolito et al, 2014; McMichael, 2002; Raghallaigh, 2011; Toussaint et al, 2017).…”
