This study aims to understand the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), socio-economic status and self-rated general health (SRGH) among couples from refugee backgrounds living in Australia. Couples were nested within dyads using multi-level frameworks and mixed-effects logistic regression (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0436 dyads). In respondents with likely PTSD, 61% of their partners were also likely to have PTSD compared to only 26% of partners in refugees with unlikely PTSD. After controlling for socio-economic factors, respondents with likely PTSD were significantly less likely to rate their health as \u2018excellent\/very good\u2019 (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.20), compared to those with unlikely PTSD. Partners with likely PTSD were also less likely to rate their health as \u2018excellent\/very good\u2019 (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.54). Individuals who were older, female, born in the Middle East, experienced less community support or more economic stressors were at greater risk of poorer SRGH. PTSD and SRGH had an interdependent effect within couples from refugee backgrounds. Familial and psychosocial contexts must be considered when developing health promotion and policies for refugee communities.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/gmh.2026.10187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T11:01:35Z","timestamp":1774868495000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Self-rated health, socio-economic status and post-traumatic stress disorder among couples from refugee backgrounds: Findings from the building a new life in Australia study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7691-4461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas P.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03t52dk35","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Western Sydney University"},{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Hospital Melbourne"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Rioseco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04n7nyv64","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Australian Institute of Family Studies"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonia","family":"Terhaag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04n7nyv64","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Australian Institute of Family Studies"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shameran","family":"Slewa-Younan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03t52dk35","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Western Sydney University"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03t52dk35","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Western Sydney University"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01ej9dk98","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"The University of Melbourne School of Population and Global Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2054425126101873_r2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fsoc.2021.693518"},{"key":"S2054425126101873_r19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13031-020-00291-z"},{"key":"S2054425126101873_r1","unstructured":"Affairs DoH (2024) 2023\u201324 Annual Report.
