“…No participants withdrew. There is a general consensus across literature and policy that the age bracket 12 to 25 years defines youth (McGorry, Parker, & Purcell, 2006) and was therefore chosen as the age range of interest. Participants ranged from 12 years to 25 years of age with an average age of 17 years.…”

In the general population, people with comorbid mental health (MH) and alcohol and other drug (AOD) disorders (comorbidity) have great difficulty accessing appropriate services, and poor outcomes. Little is known about comorbidity in resettled refugees in Australia. This study was designed to identify risk factors and patterns of comorbidity development in young people from refugee backgrounds living in a disadvantaged urban region of Adelaide, South Australia. This qualitative study utilised in-depth semi-structured interviews (n = 30) with resettled refugee youth and workers from MH, AOD, and refugee support services. Thematic analyses were conducted to investigate the aetiology of MH and AOD disorders in young refugees. Interviews with both groups revealed how the interrelated nature of risk factors may place young people from refugee backgrounds at heightened risk of experiencing MH and AOD problems. The situations and conditions described by both groups are discussed under six main themes: pre-migration experiences of torture and trauma; familial factors of intergenerational conflict; post-migration adjustment difficulties in terms of language, culture, education, and employment; exposure to and availability of substances; maladaptive coping strategies and self-medication; and access to information and services. Implications for psychologists and MH professionals are identified, emphasising the need for clinicians to understand the complexities surrounding the aetiology of comorbidity in these youth. The initial assessment needs to be comprehensive, including pre-and post-settlement experiences and cultural and family dimensions of their current situation. Treatment may often need to simultaneously address multiple contributing factors and involve culturally sensitive psychoeducation.

“…1,2 Most mental disorders begin in adolescence and early adulthood and are major contributors to the burden of disease in young people. 3,4,5,6 Most adolescents with severe mental disorders require a transition from pediatric to adult care practitioners because of the chronicity and functional impact of these disorders. In the United States, most youth transition to adult care between the ages of 18 and 21 years.…”

Key Points Question Is primary care continuity during the transition from pediatric to adult care services associated with better outcomes in young adulthood for adolescents with severe mental illness? Findings In this population-based cohort study of 8409 adolescents aged 12 to 16 years with severe mental illness, there was a 30% increase in risk of mental health–related hospital admission in young adulthood (age 19-26 years) for those with no primary care physician and a 20% increase for those with discontinuous primary care during transition to adult care compared with continuous care. Meaning For adolescents with severe mental illness, continuity with a primary care physician during transition to adult care was associated with decreased mental health–related hospitalizations and emergency department visits.

“…One possible solution to improving access, engagement and acceptability is age-appropriate, youth-specific mental health services, 34 and the UK Government policy has recognized needs in this area. [35][36][37] Viner 38 found that age-appropriate inpatient services for [12][13][14][15][16][17] year olds in England improved attendance, retention and quality of care.…”
