Protocol: health screening for Indochinese refugees.
Indochinese patients of all ages continue to present with multiple health problems. The most prevalent include incomplete immunizations, skin disease, dental disease, positive tuberculin skin tests, otitis media, anemia and intestinal parasites. Thorough health assessments for both adults and children include complete patient's age. If health problems can be diagnosed and treated soon after arrival in the United States, the refugees can then concentrate on the daily adaptation problems and complete the acculturation process.
