Notes:	Provides an overview of research into the mental health of immigrant youth in Australia, highlighting key issues such as acculturation stress and post-traumatic stress disorder that have emerged in the literature, before presenting the methodology and results of a qualitative study aimed at identifying major factors contributing to stress in young refugees. The existence of traumatic pasts, a range of ongoing stresses that persist beyond the initial settlement period, and the various strategies used by young refugees to cope with these stressors are discussed and the complexity of the migration experience is emphasised.
