This document discusses a study examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Syrian refugee youth in Metro Detroit. It notes that the pandemic led to social restrictions, transition to online learning, increased boredom and isolation for these youth. Syrian refugee youth already faced challenges prior to the pandemic from exposure to violence and war in Syria and the difficulties of resettlement. The study aims to examine how the pandemic has affected anxiety and post-traumatic stress levels in these youth over time and how early life adversity impacts their resilience. It involves interviewing 75 Syrian refugee youth ages 10-17 who were previously part of a risk and resilience study.
