Influences of time, ethnicity, and attachment on depression in Southeast Asian refugees
M Beiser
Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
The author reports on a study investigating the question of whether certain
phases of resettlement are accompanied by an elevated risk for depression
in Southeast Asian refugees in Canada. In general, the longer the Southeast
Asian refugees remained in Canada, the better their mental health. However,
unmarried or otherwise unattached Laotians and Vietnamese refugees
experienced high levels of depression 10-12 months after arrival. Two years
after the initial investigation, this group, disadvantaged by a lack of
social resources, continued to be more depressed than other refugees.
