This report explores the experiences of Syrian migrants in Sweden in the areas of border crossings, refugee protection, reception, integration, and their psychological health conditions. The survey was conducted in Sweden between June 2019 and May 2020 and focuses on Syrian migrants, aged 18 years or older, arriving in Sweden in 2011 and upward. The sample of this survey study included 639 respondents and the questionnaires were filled on paper (n=464) or via a web survey (n=175), both in Arabic. The study used convenience sampling in smaller strata locations, while trying to elicit answers from a diversified group of Syrians. The geographical distribution of the questionnaires took place in five regions: Stockholm region (Stockholm 130, Södertälje 47); Malmö region (Malmö 176, Trelleborg 29, Eslöv 14); Göteborg region (Göteborg 77); Middle region cities (77); and Small region, towns, and villages (86).
