The influence of demographic characteristics living conditions and trauma exposure on the overall health of a conflict-affected population in Southern Sudan

摘要

BackgroundThere remains limited evidence on how armed conflict affects overall physical and mental well-being rather than specific physical or mental health conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of demographic characteristics, living conditions, and violent and traumatic events on general physical and mental health in Southern Sudan which is emerging from 20 years of armed conflict.
