Migration may have a negative impact on the health status of migrants due to the multiple physical and psychosocial strains affecting them during the entire process of migration. Being exposed to these strains and suffering different kinds of losses might lead to stress and increase in risk behaviour among migrants, thereby impacting negatively on their somatic and mental health. The negative health effects of migration are mediated by the individual's resources e.g. social support.
