description This study describes the extent, quality and cultural appropriateness of current research on the health conditions of refugee children aged 0–6 years settled in high-income countries. A systematic review was conducted, including original articles published on the health conditions experienced by refugee children. A total of 71 papers were included. The studies varied considerably in their research design, population characteristics and health conditions. Studies included information on 37 different health conditions, with the majority non-communicable diseases, in particular growth, malnutrition and bone density. Although the studies identified a wide range of health issues, a coordinated effort to prioritise research on particular health topics was lacking, and health conditions studied do not align with the global burden of disease for this population. Additionally, despite being rated medium–high quality, most studies did not describe measures taken to ensure cultural competency and community involvement in their research. We suggest a coordinated research effort for this cohort, with greater emphasis on community engagement to improve the evidence-base of the health needs of refugee children after settlement.
