Examining heterogeneity: A systematic review of quantitative person-centered studies on adversity, mental health, and resilience in children and young adults with refugee backgrounds.

The use of person-centered approaches in research on children and young adults with refugee backgrounds, focusing on adversity, mental health, and resilience, is currently limited. Nevertheless, the reviewed studies provided valuable insights into subgroups within this population, indicating that person-centered approaches can be employed when studying this group. Future research should consider theory and prior knowledge in the selection of the final number of groups, thoroughly report quality criteria, and rigorously test the reliability of classes.
