作者报告的调查97苗族成年难民在美国。这些难民中有30人表现出慢性适应不良的症状,13人表现出另一种DSM-III轴I障碍; 2人表现出偏执型精神病,6人患有重度抑郁症。很少有轴II诊断。医疗条件是频繁的,往往是心理生理的性质,但他们没有与轴I障碍。轴IV心理社会压力与轴I诊断无关,但轴I障碍的受试者往往表现出较低的适应水平轴V。与轴I诊断最密切相关的人口统计学条件是目前的状态,作为福利接受者。
The author reports on a survey of 97 Hmong adult refugees in the United States. Thirty of these refugees showed symptoms of chronic maladjustment, and 13 showed another DSM-III axis I disorder; two manifested a paranoid psychosis, and six had a major depression. There were few axis II diagnoses. Medical conditions were frequent and often psychophysiological in nature, but they were not associated with axis I disorders. Axis IV psychosocial stressors were not associated with axis I diagnoses, but subjects with an axis I disorder tended to show lower adaptive levels on axis V. The demographic condition most strongly associated with an axis I diagnosis was current status as a welfare recipient.
