ABSTRACT
AIM: The main purpose of our study remained to evaluate described mental health results of teenage foreign-born and teenage foreign-born to teenage Pakistan-born nationals.
Method: Researchers evaluated by comparing mental health position of Pakistani-born adolescent nationals to foreign-born nationals and non-citizens in years 2020+2021, through using Strong points and Problems Questionnaire from the National Health Survey, and analyzed what changes in emotional complexity altered depending on length spent in Pakistan.
Results: According to the findings, non-citizen teenagers had improved mental health effects than Pakistani-born citizens. Despite controlling for fundamental socio-demographic factors, the psychological health of foreign-born residents is different from that of Pakistani-born people. The proportion of psychological issues reported by immigrant teenagers rose with both the period of a family’s stay in Pakistan.
Conclusion: Our data support a larger health benefit for foreign-born, but researchers provide supporting insight that psychological health benefit of foreign-born teenagers occurs exclusively for non-citizens.
