Abstract

The medical literature regarding refugee populations in developed countries has predominantly focused on infectious communicable diseases and mental health; however, with changing lifestyles in developing countries and the process of acculturation within developed countries, refugees are facing an increased risk of noncommunicable diseases by either having a preexisting condition or acquiring it once in a developed country. Studies of resettled refugees in the initial months of resettlement in the United States show that more than 50% of refugees have at least one chronic disease. Such prevalence rates support the need to address chronic conditions in refugees. This chapter synthesizes the medical literature to offer clinicians an evidence-based approach for the care of common noncommunicable diseases in adult refugees and outlines the systems challenges that caregivers face when providing chronic care to refugees.
