AnnotationThe authors' purpose was to describe and compare Cambodian, Vietnamese, Soviet Jewish and Ukrainian refugee caregivers and elders on life experiences, health status and knowledge of available services. Detailed interviews were conducted with 105 female caregivers and 52 elders. Similar patterns emerged across all groups with regard to filial obligation, minimal knowledge of services, impact of immigration, and retention of cultural ties. Findings confirmed the special health and social service needs of refugee families in transition. (KJ/RH).
