Tuberculosis status and social adaptation of Indochinese refugees.
The relationship between tuberculosis and social adaptation of Indochinese refugees in Manitoba, Canada, is examined in 43 randomly selected refugees treated for active and inactive tuberculosis (cases) and their matched controls.  Tuberculosis status did not significantly affect adaptation as measured by selected scales and indicators.  Significant predictors of better personal well-being included a low number of family members outside the household in Manitoba, non-use of traditional medicine, female gender, and high individual income.  Tuberculosis status was not a significant predictor.
