Abstract

For forcibly displaced Muslims, trauma burden is high but treatment utilization is low. Perceived need, a utilization indicator, has not been widely examined in this population. This study found many individuals perceived need for psychological treatment, but that it did not differ based on age, gender, PTSD status, or well-being.
