Falgas-Bague Ülke: Switzerland Oturum: 3780 - MIGRANT MENTAL HEALTH AND TREATMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT Tarih: Fri, 25.09.2026, 13:50 - 14:00 Salon: Hall A6 At baseline, 31.3% of newly arrived asylum seekers had moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms and 17.6% had probable PTSD, yet only 7% had accessed mental health services in Switzerland. Despite the high burden of mental health problems among refugees and asylum seekers, longitudinal evidence on mental health needs and the treatment gap in resource-rich countries remains limited. To address this gap, the study is establishing one of Switzerland's first longitudinal cohorts of newly arrived asylum seekers by embedding mental health research within routine social welfare services. Newly arrived adult asylum seekers are being recruited into the ongoing three-year mixed-methods cohort through the Basel Social Welfare Offices. As part of routine intake procedures, multilingual research assistants use validated questionnaires to assess mental health, social determinants, and service use upon arrival and at 12 months, while barriers to care are explored through qualitative interviews. Since February 2026, 51 participants have been recruited, primarily from Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Eritrea (mean age 34.2 years; 51% male), and the overall participation rate has reached 64% through closer collaboration with social services, expansion of recruitment sites, and community engagement. At baseline, 31.3% of participants reported moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms, 17.6% screened positive for probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and only 7% had accessed mental health services in Switzerland. Reported barriers were predominantly structural, relating to language, cost, and navigating services. The findings indicate that embedding longitudinal mental health research within routine social welfare services is feasible through strong partnerships, a multilingual research team, and participatory implementation, while providing assessments in different languages and building trust with communities remain challenges.
