The impact of immigration on the development of adolescent schizophrenia
Abstract
Problem: Impact of immigration on the development of adolescent schizophrenia.
Methods: The review of literature used Academic Search Premier, CINHAL, PsychINFO, PubMed, and MEDLINE databases to examine reasons given to immigration as a risk factor to adolescent schizophrenia.
Findings: There is not a single factor or a group of related factors that could explain why the incidence of schizophrenia among immigrants is higher compared with natives of the host county.
Conclusion: Further inquiry into this phenomenon is needed to understand factors that increase the risk of schizophrenia among immigrant children and to help plan and implement strategies for prevention.
