Stress, Social Supports, and Adaptational Patterns in Hmong Refugee Families.

Hirayama, Kasumi K.; Hirayama, Hisashi

Amerasia Journal, v14 n1 p93-108 1988

The relationship between stress and social support systems of Hmong refugees is examined. Hmong communities function in some ways like large extended families; thus, there is not much reliance on outside resources. Homesickness was a stressor for older Hmong. Others were limited because of their lack of English proficiency. (VM)
