A nationwide comparative analysis of the prevalance and determinants of non-communicable diseases risk factors between Jordanian and displaced Syrian populations
The disease burden in Syrian refugees in Jordan is related to barriers to healthcare access and economic stability, lower awareness when to seek medical attention, and increasing stress levels, which all leads to disruption in the longitudinal care needed for NCD management. This necessitates tailored interventions to ensure accessibility and responsiveness to healthcare needs as the blame is not on displacement by itself given its effect cannot be proven.
