Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Communist governments were established in Indochina in 1975, more than 1.2 million refugees have fled their homelands to other Asian asylum countries due to political persecution, human rights abuses, warfare, and famine. The refugee exodus reached a peak of 58,000 a month in June 1979 but has since subsided to about 3,100 a month. In April 1979, GAO reported on the international efforts to resettle these refugees; the current situation is described. To curtail the large number of refugees fleeing Vietnam by boat, Vietnam and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reached an agreement in May 1979 for a direct orderly departure program (ODP). Difficulties have arisen that are hampering its implementation. By early 1980, only 226 persons had departed Vietnam for the United States under the program. Success of ODP is essential if the inherent risks and hardships experienced by the 1979 boat people are to be avoided in the future. Two refugee processing centers (RPC) are now under construction to accommodate 60,000 refugees. Moving refugees to these centers will relieve some of the burden on asylum countries. In many cases, camps and transit centers are not adequately protecting refugees from crime and abuse. In addition, not all the camps are providing adequate care, including: food, medical care, shelter, water and sanitation facilities, supplies, safety, education, recreation, and self-reliance projects. The absence of these essential services creates discontent among refugees, severely hampers resettlement, and may make other solutions, such as voluntary repatriation or local integration, impossible.
Download or read book Mental Health Services for Southeast Asian Refugees written by San Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The findings and recommendatins of US and Canadian studies on the mental health needs of Indochinese refugees provide the basis for a mental health project, outlined in this paper, for refugees settling in Canada. The author reviews the American experience, with its success stories of refugees who have adapted with comparative ease to the host community, and its casualties, which, according the 1979 Pennsylvania survey, were only then beginning to surface among the 1975 arrivals. The stress of uprooting and cultural adjustment had led to emotional problems, such as depression, anxiety, marital and inter-generational conflicts. In Canada, the Mental Health Report produced by the Greater Toronto Task Force on Indo-Chinese refugees identifies problems and high-risk subgroups among the refugee population and covers a range of actions that can be taken in all areas of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. This paper advocates a national mental health project, which would train Indochinese health workers, advise refugee-assisting agencies, provide direct services to refugees (possibly as part of a major psychiatric hospital, with facilities for in-patient care, partial hospitalization, out-patient treatment and emergency care) and coordinate research, programme evaluation and the development of effective and culturally appropriate preventive and therapeutic treatment.

Book excerpt: Alien Winds presents the first critical analysis of U.S. refugee processing centers in Southeast Asia. Based on twenty months of work in refugee camps from 1983-1986 and an analysis of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, this book challenges the widely held view that the refugee education program results in successful resettlement. The author contends that in its zeal to Americanize Southeast Asians, this program seeks to replace ties to their traditional community with a commitment to the myths of American success ideology and the moral principle of self-sufficiency. He concludes that the program actually disempowers the refugees by robbing them of their sense of community, and often their dignity. Without regard to skills or education, it prepares refugees for long term employment in dead end minimum wage jobs. Of particular interest to teachers of English as a second language and scholars in the fields of education, sociology, anthropology, and Southeast Asian studies, Alien Winds concludes with recommendations for overseas centers and domestic resettlement programs. From its inception the U.S. refugee resettlement program faced difficult questions: What are the main difficulties facing Southeast Asians in the United States? What do refugees need to know in order to resettle successfully? How should successful resettlement be defined? Should there be different notions of success for different groups of people? What values do Americans share? Must newcomers adopt these values? Alien Winds examines the American answers to these questions as they are formulated and conveyed to the refugees. It also explores the sources of these answers. To this end it examines important assumptions about immigrants that originated in educational programs during the early part of this century. It further explores the aims and structures of the organizations which created and operate the processing centers. Finally, Alien Winds analyzes the role of the refugee program in America's shared memory of Vietnam.

Book excerpt: This newsletter outlines the medical safeguards provided to minimize the risk to Canadians of diseases imported by Indo-Chinese refugees. It reviews the various stages of refugee medical screening and treatment: 1) in transit camps prior to final acceptance; 2) at the two 'staging centres' in Edmonton and Montreal, to detect such ailments as measles and skin rashes which may have erupted since departure; and, 3) examination - once all medical information has been received - by the health authorities in the province of destination. Stressing that there is little risk to Canadians, the report describes some of the imported diseases such as TB, diphteria, hepatitis and intestinal parasites. It concludes by stating that it is government policy to implement preventive health programmes, such as immunization, as soon as possible after arrival. Tables are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents detailed comparative analyses of infant health outcomes and risk factors among refugee groups from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, compared to all other major racial-ethnic groups in San Diego County, California (Hispanics, non-Hispanic whites and blacks, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, and American Indians). Data are drawn from (1) a complete list of all linked live births (N=269,252) and infant deaths (N=2,610) recorded in San Diego County from 1978 to 1985; (2) longitudinal survey data from refugee respondents in the Indochinese Health and Adaptation Research Project (IHARP), matched to the vital statistics data; and (3) in-depth qualitative interviews which were conducted with a subsample of refugee mothers about their pregnancies since their arrival in the United States. Findings measure early neonatal and post-early neonatal infant mortality rates for all groups, as well as birth weight (in grams), low-birthweight births, late onset of prenatal care, and other risk factors. Multivariate analyses of the vital statistics and the longitudinal survey data identify the determinants of infant health outcomes, while four detailed case histories of Hmong and Vietnamese refugee mothers are sketched from the qualitative data. Despite severe economic and cultural handicaps and traumatic migration histories, Indochinese refugees were found to exhibit significantly lower infant mortality rates than more advantaged groups, another instance of the, “epidemiological paradox,” also observed among Mexican immigrants. Theoretical and policy implications of these findings are discussed.
