Resilience, health related quality of life and educational outcomes in unaccompanied refugee minors

. The topics examined are:

1. The protective factors URMs report having and how they score compared to other youths in the same age group
2. How URMs report their health-related quality of life and how their scores compare with European norm data
3. How the completion rates of URMs in upper secondary school compare with other youths in the same age group, and how the completion rates of URMs in upper secondary school are associated with, among other things, measures and aftercare from child welfare services.

The data used in articles 1 and 2 stems from the project "Veien til selvstendighet" (https://www.norceresearch.no/prosjekter/veien-til-selvstendighet-okt-kvalitet-pa-tjenestene-til-bosatte-enslige-mindrearige-flyktninger-et-prosjekt-i-barneverntjenesten-i-bergen-kommune), in which 81 URMs residing in Bergen have responded to a comprehensive survey. Article 1 additionally uses a comparison group from the study ung@hordaland. Article 3 uses registry data from the Norwegian Population Registry, the National Educational Database, and the Child Welfare Registry (SSB), where we include all URMs who arrived in Norway between 2005 and 2021 and who started upper secondary school at some point during this period (N=4845), accompanied refugee minors who arrived in the same period (N=5942), and a random sample from the general population in the same age group (N=16,402).
