ABSTRACT
Refugee children are at increased risk for mental health problems, including post-traumatic stress, depression, and externalizing problems. The refugee environment, maternal mental health, and parenting may reduce or exacerbate that risk. This study investigated their direct and indirect associations with child mental health cross-sectionally in a sample of Syrian refugee child-mother dyads in Lebanon in 2017-19. Mediating pathways were tested using structural equation modeling with 1446 dyads (child Mage = 11.39, 52.1% females) and again 1 year later with 872 (child Mage = 12.17, 53.1% females) of the original sample. Mediating pathways from the refugee environment through maternal mental health and parenting to child outcomes were detected, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to refugee mental health.
