MAY
We recruited 103 participants between March 2018 and May 2019. They were 18 to 62 years old and had been born in the following countries: Iran (n = 40; 38.8%), Afghanistan (n = 22; 21.4%), Syria (n = 22; 21.4%), Guinea (n = 8; 7.8%), Iraq (n = 5; 4.9%), Lebanon (n = 2; 1.9%), Burkina Faso (n = 1; 1%), Egypt (n = 1; 1%), Palestine (n = 1; 1%), and Yemen (n = 1; 1%). Fifty-eight percent of the participants were Muslims, 10% Christians, 1% had other religions (Yazidi), and 31% did not state any religious background. Of the 103 participants, 65% had an asylum-seeking status with a temporary identification document, 24.3% had a temporary residence permit, and few either were EU citizens (2.9%), naturalized Germans (3.9%), or without a legal residence permit (3.9%). Participants had lived in Germany for 45 months on average, ranging from 1 to 480 months. More than half had attended school for approximately 12 years (school diploma; 55.3%), and roughly two thirds did not work at the time of the pretest interview (68.9%).
