  • Title: The health of children in immigration detention: how does Australia compare?
    Author: Shields L, Stathis S, Mohay H, van Haeringen A, Williams H, Wood D, Bennett E.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Public Health; 2004 Dec; 28(6):513-9. PubMed ID: 15707199.
    Abstract:
    We live in an age when the number of refugees worldwide is increasing. All of them have suffered physically or emotionally to a varying degree in their country of origin. The transit to a country of resettlement is fraught with further difficulties or the risk of death. This article explores the different approach taken to the management of this issue by Denmark and Iceland, in comparison to that of Australia. In particular, the different approaches to health care for children and their families are identified. The management of these issues by Denmark and Iceland would appear to be a model to follow. Outcomes of the different managements have not been assessed.
