Abstract

Recent young migrants are a very heterogeneous population with mixed health needs. The global world mortality and morbidity of 12-25 year olds' is mostly related to accidents and other preventable causes or mental disorders. Most severe psychiatric disorders begin in this age group. Adolescence and the migrant status of young people and their families impact on their expression of needs. The adolescent and young adult program of Geneva University Hospitals is a specialized, multidisciplinary integrated team contributing to improve delivery of care through an easy access to care and preventative activities. In collaboration with Geneva's health network it offers a valuable continuity of care in this population.
